Enrique Olaya Herrera Airport

EOH designates Enrique Olaya Herrera Airport, located in the heart of Medellín, Colombia, distinct from the larger José María Córdova International Airport that handles most long-haul traffic. Named after a former Colombian president, EOH primarily serves domestic routes, regional commuter flights, and general aviation, making it a convenient option for travelers heading to smaller Colombian cities without connecting through the international hub. Its close proximity to downtown Medellín is a major advantage for business travelers, though the airport's location within the city creates certain operational constraints tied to surrounding terrain and urban development. EOH also hosts flight schools and private aviation activity, reinforcing its role as a secondary but heavily used airport within metropolitan Medellín's air transport network.
