Ernesto Cortissoz International Airport serves as an international gateway to Barranquilla, the capital city of the Atlántico department in Colombia. Situated in the suburban municipality of Soledad, the airport derives its name from Ernesto Cortissoz, one of Colombia’s aviation pioneers.
Notably, the airport holds the status of a focus city for Avianca, Colombia’s national flag carrier. Its infrastructure is designed to accommodate widebody aircraft such as the Boeing 747, Boeing 767, and Airbus A350, showcasing its capabilities and importance within the northern region of the country. Furthermore, Ernesto Cortissoz International Airport takes pride in its significant role as a hub for cargo movements, solidifying its position as a key player in the transportation of goods.
Ernesto Cortissoz International Airport is located 12 kilometers (7 miles) from the center of Barranquilla in the municipality of Soledad. It has a history of receiving widebody aircraft, including the likes of the Boeing 747, McDonnell Douglas DC-10, and Airbus A350, making it a prominent aviation hub in the past. Although it currently ranks fifth in terms of passenger and cargo volume among Colombian airports, it retains its status as the most important airport in the northern part of the country, with exceptional infrastructure to support its operations. The airport features two terminals: the domestic terminal housing gates 6-13, and the international terminal accommodating gates 1-5 and 5A.
An important milestone for Ernesto Cortissoz International Airport was the “open skies” designation granted by the Aeronautica Civil in July 2007. This designation allowed any airline from around the world to operate flights to Barranquilla on any route and with any frequency. The decision was primarily aimed at promoting tourism, leveraging Barranquilla’s strategic position as a key access point to the Caribbean.
