Alfredo Vásquez Cobo International Airport guide

Alfredo Vásquez Cobo International Airport (ICAO SKLT) serves Leticia, the capital of Colombia's Amazonas Department and the country's southernmost city. It sits at the tri-border point where Colombia, Brazil and Peru meet. No road links Leticia to the rest of Colombia, so the airport is the main way in and out for most travellers. The only other route is by river.

The airport has one asphalt runway, 03/21, which is 2,010 metres long. The field lies about 84 metres above sea level. The Colombian Air Force's Amazonas Air Group uses the same runway from Colonel Herbert Boy Air Base next door. Aerocivil, the national civil aviation authority, runs the airport.

Traffic grew steadily through the 2010s. Passenger numbers rose from about 157,000 in 2010 to 333,050 in 2019. Avianca and LATAM Colombia fly to Bogotá. SATENA links Leticia with smaller Amazon communities, including La Chorrera, La Pedrera, Tarapacá and San José del Guaviare. Most visitors arrive for jungle tourism on the Amazon River.
