Distance & flight time from AUC
Santiago Perez Airport
Santiago Perez Airport serves Arauca, a city in northeastern Colombia sitting near the border with Venezuela. Elevation at the field is 420 feet, where a single runway carries domestic flights linking Arauca with Bogotá and other Colombian cities. Arauca's location along the border region has historically made overland travel more difficult, giving the airport a practical role in connecting this remote department to the rest of the country. Colombian domestic carriers provide scheduled service on a limited basis, supporting both local residents and travelers connected to the area's oil and agricultural industries. Its single-runway design matches the modest scale common among Colombia's smaller regional gateways.
