Ernesto Cortissoz International Airport BAQSKBQ

Ernesto Cortissoz International Airport (BAQ) serves Barranquilla from Soledad, south of the city. For travelers, it functions more as a regional Caribbean-coast gateway than a major connecting hub: domestic links to Bogotá, Medellín and other Colombian cities dominate, with international service focused on Miami, Panama and nearby Caribbean points. Avianca has the strongest historical and network presence and is often described as a focus city here, but BAQ is not a major Star Alliance, oneworld or SkyTeam hub. Most long-haul or complex connections still route through Bogotá, Panama City or Miami.
