Rafael Núñez International Airport (CTG)

Rafael Núñez International Airport is the main airport serving Cartagena de Indias and the surrounding Bolívar region on Colombia’s Caribbean coast. Located in the Crespo neighbourhood, it connects the city with domestic destinations such as Bogotá and Medellín as well as international routes across the Americas and Europe.

The airport operates a single passenger terminal with separate domestic and international areas for departures and arrivals. This compact layout handles check-in, security, immigration, baggage claim and customs within one connected building, making it relatively straightforward for travellers to move between the plane and the exit.

Because the airport sits inside the city, roughly 3 km from the historic Walled City, transfers to the centre, Getsemaní and Bocagrande are short. Travellers can continue by authorised taxi, private transfer, public bus or rental car, with the airport terminal also close to Cartagena’s hotel and convention areas.

With restaurants, cafés, shops, VIP lounges, free Wi-Fi, currency services and onward travel options, Rafael Núñez International Airport functions as a convenient gateway for visitors arriving in Cartagena and the wider Caribbean region.
