✈️ SKBO Accounts for Seven-Tenths of September Business Aircraft Takeoffs and Landings at the Two Candidate Airports
Business aircraft traffic differs markedly between Bogotá’s two candidate airports. Avi-Go data show that from September 1 to September 30, 2026, SKBO recorded 403 business aircraft departures and 354 arrivals, for a total of 757 takeoffs and landings; SKGY recorded 134 departures and 173 arrivals, for a total of 307. The two airports recorded 1,064 takeoffs and landings combined, of which SKBO accounted for 71.1%. Based on that month’s traffic at the two candidate airports, SKBO is the higher-traffic location for accessing existing business aircraft activity. Each departure or arrival counts as one aircraft movement, so the combined total does not represent the number of complete flights.
Impact: For companies considering offering business aviation services at SKBO or SKGY, SKBO’s 757 movements mean greater exposure to aircraft takeoff and landing activity in September 2026, making it the higher-traffic baseline for estimating service demand. SKGY’s 307 movements also correspond to actual service demand. The difference in movements between the airports can help companies distinguish the traffic starting points for the two locations, but it should not be treated as a direct measure of differences in customer numbers or revenue.
Recommendation: Build separate service-location estimates using SKBO’s 757 movements and SKGY’s 307 movements, checking the specific services and resource allocations proposed for each airport against its departure and arrival volumes. Monitor whether the gap in movements between the airports persists, then assess location options alongside fees, parking-stand availability, travel time to and from the city, and customer sources.
