SKBO is the ICAO code for El Dorado International Airport (IATA BOG), located in Bogota, DC, Colombia.
El Dorado International Airport (SKBO) is a large airport in Bogota, DC, Colombia. Pilots and dispatchers reference it by ICAO code SKBO or IATA code BOG. It sits in South America.
El Dorado International Airport is a commercial-airline hub that also handles a steady stream of private and corporate traffic. Mixed commercial and private operations mean planners should expect slot coordination, handling agent involvement, and the usual international hub procedures.
El Dorado International Airport sits at 8,361 ft above sea level. At this elevation, density-altitude effects are significant year-round. Operators should plan for reduced engine performance and longer takeoff rolls on warm days, and many flight departments require runway-analysis software for departures.
Local operations run on America/Bogota. Because the field hosts scheduled airline operations, private operators should expect a defined slot environment, possible CDM coordination at peak banks, and limited ramp availability during major event weekends. Booking FBO ramp space in advance is normal practice.
SkyAccess currently tracks 1 departing and 1 arriving private-jet legs at SKBO across the next six months of operator inventory. 2 aircraft from 4 operators are based here or fly through regularly, so most empty-leg supply originates from a local fleet rather than out-of-town repositioning.
As one of the larger fields in Colombia, SKBO tends to be the natural choice for long-range international charters and crew-rest-required flights.
El Dorado International Airport is an international airport serving Bogotá, the capital of Colombia, and its surrounding areas. The airport is located mostly in the Fontibón district of Bogotá, although it partially extends into the Engativá district and through the municipality of Funza in the Western Savanna Province of the Cundinamarca Department. It is the second busiest airport in Latin America, after São Paulo - Guarulhos International Airport. With 760,000 metric tons of cargo passing through the same year, it is also Iberoamerica's most important cargo hub. El Dorado is also by far the busiest and most important airport in Colombia, accounting for just under half (49%) of the country's air traffic. The facility covers 1,700 acres and contains two 3,800-metre (12,500 ft) long runways. El Dorado has non-stop international flights to North America, South America, Central America, the Caribbean, Europe, and the Middle East.
