Terminal Puente Aéreo, airport terminal 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.
Avianca built the terminal in 1981 and President Julio César Turbay Ayala inaugurated it as an annex to El Dorado, initially handling flights from Bogotá to Cali, Medellín, Miami and New York. Avianca moved its domestic operation to Terminal 1 on 28 April 2018. Since 29 April 2018 Clic and Satena have used it, and JetSMART began operating there on 14 March 2024.
The name Puente Aéreo, "air bridge", comes from the 1981 role of the building: a shuttle terminal linking Bogotá with Cali, Medellín, Miami and New York. In February 2008 Avianca opened an Avianca Store here selling scale aircraft, caps and umbrellas with the company logo. Today Clic, Satena and JetSMART fly from it to 34 Colombian cities.
The terminal shares El Dorado airport's runways and air traffic control, so it operates as an annex to Terminal 1. It handles domestic flights only, with three carriers serving 34 Colombian cities; Satena and JetSMART Colombia use it as their main hub. Passengers connecting to international flights must transfer to Terminal 1.
The terminal was built as an annex to El Dorado and shares its runways and air traffic control, so both terminals operate as one system. Since 29 April 2018 it has handled the domestic flights of EasyFly (now Clic Air) and Satena to 25 Colombian destinations, and JetSMART began operating here on 14 March 2024 to six national destinations.
