About Capurganá Airport

Capurganá Airport (IATA: CPB, ICAO: SKCP) is a small regional aerodrome serving the remote Capurganá community in the Chocó department of northwestern Colombia, positioned close to the Colombian-Panamanian border. The airport operates exclusively under visual flight rules during daylight hours, reflecting its short grass and gravel runway of approximately 700 metres, which limits operations to turboprop and piston aircraft categories capable of short-field performance. The facility is administered under Colombian civil aviation authority oversight and handles a modest blend of regional scheduled services and private charter movements. Passenger processing is straightforward given the airport’s scale, and domestic customs and documentation checks are handled efficiently on arrival. The runway’s orientation and surrounding jungle terrain demand pilots with local area familiarity, making a well-coordinated charter booking through an experienced operator essential.
