Terminal Puente Aéreo, building in Bogotá, Colombia
Terminal Puente Aéreo is an airport building in Bogotá used mainly for flights within Colombia and to nearby regions. The structure is simple and straightforward, with clear signage, open spaces, and practical seating areas where travelers wait between check-in and departure.
The building opened in 1981 under President Julio César Turbay Ayala and originally served airline Avianca for domestic flights to cities like Medellín and Cali. In 2014 Avianca moved its operations to a newer terminal, after which smaller carriers such as Clic, Satena, and Wingo took over the facility and have since operated flights to more than 30 Colombian cities.
This building serves as a meeting point where travelers from different parts of Colombia gather to start or end their journeys. The space reflects how the city connects people through movement and transit.
The building has a clear layout with signage for gates and counters that helps travelers find their way easily. It is practical to arrive a few minutes early, and buses along with a nearby tram line offer straightforward connections to different neighborhoods of the city.
Since March 2024 the terminal has featured self-service machines called Veripax that allow travelers to scan their passports and move through security more quickly. This technology noticeably reduces wait times and gives passengers a smoother check-in process overall.
