Palonegro International Airport is an international airport situated 7 kilometers (4.3 miles) west of Bucaramanga in the Santander Department of Colombia. It serves the Bucaramanga Metropolitan Area, as well as the surrounding towns, handling both domestic and international flights.
Previously, Bucaramanga was served by Gómez Niño Airport, which was established by SCADTA in late 1938. Palonegro International Airport commenced operations with Junkers F-13 aircraft. In 1954, the Colombian Aerodrome Administration acquired the airport, which boasted the unique feature of operating two runways simultaneously. The runways were configured in an “X” shape, allowing for their utilization based on the prevailing wind conditions.
Nestled amidst the mountains that encircle the Bucaramanga plateau, Palonegro International Airport is accessed via a mountain road that connects it to the city. Positioned at an elevation of approximately 1,200 meters above sea level, the airport was constructed on the historic grounds of the Battle of Palonegro, which transpired during the Thousand Days War in the early 20th century.
Palonegro International Airport receives flights from major cities across Colombia, in addition to international flights originating from Panama City and the United States. The main terminal is conveniently located just 25 minutes away from the city, accessible via the westbound fast lane of the highway leading to Giron. Presently, the airport ranks as the eighth largest in Colombia based on passenger traffic.
