BOG

Opened in 1959, replacing the older Techo airport.

Two parallel runways, 13L/31R and 13R/31L, each about 3,800 metres, long partly to compensate for the altitude.

Colombia principal gateway and the busiest cargo airport in latin america. The busiest airport in Colombia for both passengers and cargo.

El Dorado operates 24 hours.

Private flights use the dedicated business-aviation facilities at El Dorado International Airport (BOG), where formalities take minutes rather than hours and the aircraft waits for you, not the other way round. Yes, with the altitude caveat: departing aircraft plan reduced payload or a fuel stop, and crews brief high-altitude performance carefully.

The aircraft follows the trip. Short regional hops suit a light jet, three to five hours suits a midsize or super midsize cabin, and intercontinental legs call for a heavy or ultra long range aircraft. Party size, luggage and runway performance at Bogota decide the final choice.

Charter is priced per trip, not per seat, and the figure covers the aircraft, crew, fuel, handling and standard catering. Positioning matters most: an aircraft already near Bogota costs less than one flown in for you, which is why a single fixed all-in quote is the only number worth comparing.

Often yes. When an aircraft and crew are available within duty limits, departures within a few hours are routine, and Bogota is used to short-notice movements. The pacing item is usually ground handling and permits, not the aircraft.

Fifteen to twenty minutes is typical from the private terminal, and on domestic departures even less. There is no long check-in queue, no gate walk and no boarding call.

Luggage follows the cabin rather than an airline allowance. A light jet takes cabin bags and a few suitcases, a midsize handles a full week of luggage for the party, and heavy jets swallow skis, golf bags and oversized cases. Tell us what you are carrying and we confirm the hold for that exact aircraft.

Colombia requires a microchip, rabies vaccination and a veterinary health certificate issued close to travel; pets fly in the cabin on private aircraft.

Chartering a private jet from Bogota costs from €21,500 for a short heavy jet hop up to €136,500 for the longest routes on this page, always quoted as one fixed all-in figure. See the full cost guide at flywithandreea.com/private-jet-charter-cost, and message Andreea for a firm figure for your dates.

About EUR 21,500 to EUR 29,000 on a heavy jet, roughly 4h 47m in the air. The exact figure depends on the date and aircraft positioning; Andreea confirms one fixed all-in price in writing.

As a rule of thumb, EUR 5,600 to 9,400 on a light jet and EUR 9,400 to 12,600 on a midsize, before positioning and handling. A two hour flight from Bogota covers roughly 1,300 km, city pairs like the routes listed above.

About 7h 15m wheels up to wheels down on a heavy jet, with boarding at the private terminal taking minutes rather than hours. Timings vary with winds and routing.

For one traveller on a trunk route, first class is usually cheaper. For a family or a team, once you divide the aircraft price by seats and count the hours saved through the private terminal, charter from Bogota is often closer than people expect, and an empty leg can beat first class outright.

It is never expected and always appreciated. Crews are professionals paid accordingly; if the service was exceptional, a tip or a note to the operator lands equally well. There is no etiquette obligation either way.
