Gomez Nino Apiay Air Base

Gomez Nino Apiay Air Base (SKAP) is a medium airport in Apiay, Colombia. Pilots and dispatchers reference it by ICAO code SKAP or IATA code API. It sits in South America.

Gomez Nino Apiay Air Base is a regional airport primarily serving general aviation, charter, and corporate flight departments. The 5,000-foot runway means it is well-suited as a dedicated bizjet field, free from airline scheduling pressure.

The longest runway measures 5,000 ft (1,524 m), a light-jet-class field. Representative aircraft that operate comfortably here include the Phenom 300, Citation CJ4, and Learjet 75. In practice this limits operations to light jets, turboprops, and short-field-capable aircraft.

Gomez Nino Apiay Air Base lies at 1,207 ft elevation.

Local operations run on America/Bogota. Without scheduled airline traffic, the field tends to be quieter and more flexible for charter and corporate operations — a useful characteristic for early morning, late night, or short-notice flights that would be impractical at a hub.

SkyAccess inventory for SKAP updates continuously as operators publish new empty legs and one-way repositioning trips. Pricing on each leg is available with a free account, and an inventory alert will email you the moment a leg appears on the route you care about.
