Bogotá, June 4, 2025. El Dorado International Airport has been recognized as the number one airport in Latin America and the Caribbean, according to the 2024 report by the Airport Council International (ACI-LAC). This milestone places it at the top of the region in three key categories: passenger traffic, cargo volume, and aircraft movements.
In 2024, El Dorado welcomed over 45 million passengers, reflecting a 16% increase compared to the previous year, further solidifying its position as the leading air connection point in Latin America and the Caribbean. The airport also handled 809,021 tons of cargo, representing a 5.1% growth, reaffirming its strategic role in international trade and logistics. Additionally, there were 360,044 aircraft movements, marking a 13.4% increase.
Rafael Echevarne, Director General of ACI-LAC, emphasized:
“The 2024 data reflect more than just numbers: they tell a story of dynamism, recovery, effort, and strategic vision.”
This new recognition adds to several other awards El Dorado has received, such as the Platinum Award from Cirium for outstanding performance in passenger impact, operational excellence, and growth; being named the Best Airport in South America for the seventh time and fourth consecutive year by Skytrax; and receiving the Blue Dot certification from the OECD for its sustainable infrastructure and community engagement.
With this latest achievement, El Dorado reinforces its mission and 24/7 commitment to providing world-class connectivity through innovative, technological, social, and sustainable processes—where leadership, culture, and art contribute to strengthening the airport sector in Latin America through an efficient, reliable, and globally focused model.
