The airport is named after Manuel Piar, victorious general at the Battle of San Félix in the Venezuelan War of Independence.

Most of its current facilities and lay-out comes from the large renovation done in 2007, in preparation for the 2007 Copa América held in Venezuela.

The Guayana VORTAC (Ident: GNA) is located on the field. The Guayana non-directional beacon (Ident: GNA) is located 7.0 nautical miles (13.0 km) off the approach end of Runway 26.[3][4]
