Guapi, Colombia

The airport provides essential air connectivity for this isolated coastal community, which has no paved road connections to the rest of the country.

The airport is administered under Colombia's national civil aviation framework overseen by the Aeronáutica Civil. Passenger volumes are modest, reflecting the relatively small population of the surrounding area.
