Medellín is served by two main airports with distinct roles. José María Córdova International (MDE) in Rionegro is the primary international gateway and a regional hub for full-service carriers, while Olaya Herrera (EOH) close to downtown typically handles domestic and regional flights, often favored by budget and regional operators. MDE sits roughly 35–40 km (about 45–60 minutes by road) from the city center; common transfers include taxis, private shuttles and intercity buses with fares usually higher than city transit. EOH is much closer—around 5–10 minutes or 3–5 km—reachable by taxi or bus at low cost. MDE can be more comfortable for long-haul connections and offers more amenities, but the longer transfer can add time and cost; EOH is convenient for quick domestic hops though facilities may be more basic.
