Description
Gustavo Rojas Pinilla International Airport is the primary aviation facility for the archipelago of San Andrés, Providencia and Santa Catalina, a department of Colombia. Originally designated Sesquicentenario Airport, the facility was established in the mid-1950s by order of General Gustavo Rojas Pinilla, then president of Colombia. The installation was constructed to provide a transport link between the Caribbean island territory and the Colombian mainland.
The airport facilitates regular scheduled and charter flights. It functions as a transit point for traffic between the archipelago and continental Colombian cities such as Bogotá, Medellín, Cali, Cartagena, and Barranquilla. International operations include flights to Panama City. The infrastructure is capable of supporting large aircraft up to the size of the Airbus A340-200.
