History

Olaya Herrera was once the independent international airport assisting the City of Medellín and its border area  until the building of José María Córdova International Airport in the southern suburban area of Rionegro, Antioquia, Colombia, turn up approximately 38 kilometre (23.75 Miles) from the town centre. The Airport was one time the homes office and briny base of functioning for the currently defunct Colombian air hose of ACES Colombia and West Caribbean Airways. ACES stopped functioning in 2003 due to fiscal troubles and its paths were taken over by national spouse, Avianca, which travel all functioning to Córdova airport. West Caribbean set about enduring from fiscal troubles in late 2004 and close down all functioning in September 2005, primarily due to 2 major air crashes, 1 of which had international attending. After the West Caribbean crashes the Civil Aviation Authority of Colombia divest West Caribbean and 2 other air hose (Intercontinal de Aviación and Aerotaca) of their rights to function under Colombian jurisprudence after each of these neglected to go across operational reviews. All 3 air hose were former renters of Olaya Herrera.

Despite no longer having scheduled international voyages, Olaya Herrera Airport retained its international position, partially because the airport was one time the leading international airport assisting Medellin, but also due to the fact the airport elongates to have usages and in-migration force allowing for some charter and private international voyages to take place.

The airport set up numerous big telecasting projection screens supplied by Scala, in the independent depot. These projection screens are averaged to furnish riders with up to date reaching and going info but are also planned to entertain riders with music and Macromedia Flash vitalities. They are averaged to replace the old voyage data system which was not electronically commanded.
