What travelers should know

The airport operates in the America/Bogota time zone, so passengers should plan check-in, ground transport, and onward connections on Colombia time year-round. Its single lighted asphalt runway, Runway 05/23, measures 8,448 feet, which supports regular regional air operations and helps keep access reliable for travelers heading to or from Yopal. Because this is a regional airport rather than a large international hub, it is best approached with practical expectations: allow time for local transport coordination, confirm schedules in advance, and treat it as an efficient starting point for reaching the city rather than a destination packed with big-airport amenities.
