Rafael Núñez International Airport (CTG) serves Cartagena as the primary international gateway and can be seen as a mid‑sized hub with a mix of full‑service and low‑cost carriers operating flights across Colombia, the Caribbean and select international routes. The airport lies roughly 6–7 km from Cartagena’s historic center; taxis and app ride services usually take 15–25 minutes depending on traffic, while private transfers or hotel shuttles can be slightly quicker—expect fares to be moderate for taxis and higher for private cars. Pros include compact terminals and short transfer walks, making connections generally convenient; cons can be occasional congestion during peak season and limited late‑night options compared with larger international hubs.
Medellín is served by two main airports with distinct roles. José María Córdova International (MDE), located about 35 km east of the city in Rionegro, functions as the primary international and full-service hub, handling most long-haul and premium carriers; trips to the city center typically take 40–60 minutes by taxi or airport shuttle and can be pricier than local services. Enrique Olaya Herrera (EOH) sits much closer, around 5 km from downtown, and is commonly used for domestic and regional flights as well as low-cost and commuter operators; transfers here are usually 20–30 minutes by taxi or metro cable connection. MDE offers more international connectivity and modern amenities but requires a longer transfer; EOH is convenient for quick city access though it can be busier and more limited in facilities.
