  • No Fuel Available: The airport explicitly states that no fuel is available on-site.
  • Basic Transportation Options: While a bus service and a walking trail connect the airfield to Saül town (approximately 1.2 miles away), these are the only noted transportation connections, and there is no information about parking.
