Jaime Ortiz Betancur Airport (IGO)

Jaime Ortiz Betancur Airport is a small regional airport serving Chigorodó and the Urabá region of northwestern Colombia. It acts mainly as a local gateway for general aviation and regional flights, supporting movement within Antioquia and onward connections to larger hubs such as Medellín.

Located on the northern side of Chigorodó, just across the Guaduas River, the airport sits close to the town centre. Its single runway and compact terminal reflect its role as a community airfield rather than a major commercial airport, with operations typically handled by small aircraft suited to regional conditions.

The Urabá area is an important agricultural zone known for banana and plantain production, and the airfield supports local travel and cargo movement. Road links connect Chigorodó with nearby towns such as Apartadó and Carepa and with the wider Antioquia road network.

Passengers using the airport should expect basic facilities and flexible schedules, as tropical weather can affect regional flight operations. Taxis and pre-arranged transfers provide onward travel into Chigorodó and the surrounding areas.
