- Airport hours, customs, slots and restrictions must be confirmed with the airport. Runway length alone does not establish operational suitability.

Medellín's city airport, ten minutes from El Poblado, but domestic-only with no customs, daylight-only operations and a valley approach that limits aircraft size. Ideal for internal Colombian legs after clearing CIQ at Rionegro.
