Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Pereira is served by 4 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Matecaña International Airport (PEI), 5 km (3 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 6,627 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft. The alternatives are La Nubia Airport (MZL, 35 km), El Eden Airport (AXM, 41 km), Perales Airport (IBE, 76 km).
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Matecaña International Airport (regional) | PEI | 5 km (3 mi) | 6,627 ft | 4,416 ft |
| La Nubia Airport (regional) | MZL | 35 km (22 mi) | 4,835 ft | 6,871 ft |
| El Eden Airport (regional) | AXM | 41 km (25 mi) | 7,045 ft | 3,990 ft |
| Perales Airport (regional) | IBE | 76 km (47 mi) | 5,905 ft | 2,999 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 6,627 ft, PEI handles short and medium-haul aircraft, so a long-haul trip will connect somewhere else first. The airport sits at 4,416 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.
