Within the facilities of this air base, public and private institutions of the civil and military spheres of the Venezuelan aeronautical world operate. There is the Autonomous Bolivarian Service at Aragua Tacarigua Airport, formerly the Autonomous Service at Aragua Florencio Gómez Airport. It was opened to the civilian population in November 2010 to provide an air alternative to the inhabitants of Aragua, who previously had to resort to Valencia, Carabobo or Caracas to take air links.^[3]
