Fabio Alberto Leon Bentley Airport

Fabio Alberto Leon Bentley Airport, commonly known by its IATA code MVP, serves the town of Mitú, capital of the Vaupés Department in the remote Amazon region of southeastern Colombia. Isolated from the national road network, Mitú depends almost entirely on air transport for passengers and cargo, making MVP a critical lifeline for the surrounding indigenous communities. The airport handles flights from Bogotá and other regional hubs, supporting supply chains for food, medicine, and mail. Its short paved runway accommodates smaller commercial turboprops rather than large jets.
