Distance & flight time from APO

Antonio Roldán Betancur Airport

In the banana-growing lowlands of Colombia's Urabá region, Antonio Roldán Betancur Airport carries the code APO and sits in Carepa near the Caribbean coast within Antioquia department. The field sits just 46 feet above the low, flat Urabá plain and relies on just one runway. APO gives Carepa and the nearby Urabá towns their primary connection to Medellín and other Colombian cities. Urabá stands as a major agricultural export zone, and the airport's location reflects local reliance on banana and plantain production for both domestic and international markets, with that lone runway handling a modest volume of passenger and light cargo traffic each week.
