Flights to Bogotá
Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Bogotá is served by 2 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is El Dorado International Airport (BOG), 13 km (8 mi) from the centre, whose 12,467-ft runway is long enough for long-haul wide-body aircraft. The alternatives are Vanguardia Airport (VVC, 71 km).
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| El Dorado International Airport | BOG | 13 km (8 mi) | 12,467 ft | 8,361 ft |
| Vanguardia Airport (regional) | VVC | 71 km (44 mi) | 5,616 ft | 1,394 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 12,467 ft, BOG can take the largest long-haul aircraft, so direct intercontinental flights are physically possible here. The airport sits at 8,361 ft; that altitude thins the air enough to affect take-off performance on hot days, which is why summer departures from high airports are sometimes weight-restricted.
