Operational capacity and global connectivity

El Dorado maintains an operational capacity of 74 operations per hour, distributed in 15-minute intervals. For the 2025 summer season, the following capacities have been defined:

• Arrivals: A maximum of 9 operations per quarter hour, not exceeding 34 per hour.
• Departures: A maximum of 10 operations per quarter hour, not exceeding 40 per hour.

This planning is made possible through slot management techniques and the ACDM (Airport Collaborative Decision Making) concept, which enables more effective decision-making among all actors in the airport system.

In an effort to decentralize operations, José María Córdova Airport in Medellín is being strengthened as a hub specializing in routes to the U.S. West Coast and Canada, while Bogotá focuses on Europe, the Caribbean, and the East Coast of North America.
