El Edén International Airport serves as the primary international gateway for Armenia, the capital city of Colombia’s Quindío Department. Situated approximately 13 kilometers (8.1 miles) southwest of Armenia, near the town of La Tebaida, the airport facilitates both domestic and international flights, connecting the region to key destinations such as Bogotá and Medellín within Colombia, as well as Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
The airport’s history is marked by significant events, after the devastating earthquake that struck Armenia on 25th January 1999, the terminal building underwent a complete reconstruction due to extensive damage caused by the seismic activity. Subsequently, in 2008 and 2009, notable enhancements were made to the airport’s infrastructure. The runway was extended, the control tower’s height was increased, and significant upgrades were undertaken in the terminal building.
Notably, a new international gate and immigration area were added to accommodate international flights. These improvements have expanded El Edén International Airport capabilities, enabling it to handle various aircraft types, including the Boeing 737 and 727, Airbus A319 and A320, McDonnell Douglas MD-80, and Fokker 100.
A significant milestone occurred on 13th November 2009 when El Edén International Airport welcomed its first international flight. Spirit Airlines operated the inaugural flight from Fort Lauderdale, USA, marking the commencement of international air travel for the airport. Spirit Airlines has since maintained regular flights between El Edén International Airport and Hollywood International Airport, operating three times a week.
These developments have positioned El Edén International Airport as a vital transportation hub, connecting Armenia and the Quindío Department to domestic and international destinations, providing increased accessibility for both local residents and visitors to the region.
