Valledupar is served by one airport with scheduled flights. The closest large one is Alfonso López Pumarejo Airport (VUP), 3 km (2 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 6,890 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft.
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Alfonso López Pumarejo Airport (regional) | VUP | 3 km (2 mi) | 6,890 ft | 483 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 6,890 ft, VUP handles short and medium-haul aircraft, so a long-haul trip will connect somewhere else first. The airport sits at 483 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
