The Baracoa Regional Airport used to be a hub for airline operations such as Avianca, LANZA and Satena. However, on January 4, 1969, the airport ceased its commercial passenger flight operations and closed its flight schools, following a decision to focus on traffic from smaller aircraft.
The Magangue VOR-DME (Ident: MGN) is located on the field.[4]
