CTG · SKCG · Cartagena

Rafael Núñez International Airport (CTG) is the airport for Cartagena on Colombia's Caribbean coast. It sits in the Crespo district, north-east of the walled Old City, and the drive to the Old City, Getsemaní or Bocagrande is short, usually 10 to 20 minutes.
Avianca, LATAM, Wingo and JetSMART connect Cartagena with Bogotá, Medellín and other Colombian cities, and international airlines including American Airlines, JetBlue, Spirit and Copa fly to the United States and Panama.
The airport has one terminal with domestic and international areas, so arrivals, baggage claim and the exit are close together.
From the airport, most travelers head to the hotels of the Old City and Getsemaní, the beach towers of Bocagrande and Castillogrande, the resorts north of the city towards La Boquilla and Manzanillo del Mar, the cruise terminal in Manga, or the boat docks for the Rosario Islands and Barú.

Foreign visitors fill in the Check-MIG form from Migración Colombia online before the flight, then clear immigration on arrival; some passports need a visa. After immigration, collect your bags and pass through customs into the arrivals hall. Domestic arrivals exit straight from baggage claim.
Outside, taxis wait in an organised queue with posted fares by zone; agree the fare before you get in. Pre-booked drivers meet passengers at the arrivals exit. Decline offers from drivers and touts who approach you inside.
Cartagena is hot and humid all year, so expect the heat as soon as you leave the terminal. Colombia uses the Colombian peso and is on Colombia Time all year.
The airport is close to the Old City, so a taxi or pre-booked car is quick and simple.
Taxis wait in the organised queue outside arrivals, with posted fares by zone. Usually 10 to 20 minutes to the Old City or Bocagrande.
A pre-booked car meets you at the arrivals exit, useful for families, groups and the resorts north of the city or the cruise terminal.
Ride-hailing apps are used in Cartagena, but pickups at the airport are less organised than the taxi queue.
