✈️ Medellín Business Jet Ground-Handling Prospects Concentrated at SKMD
Business jet takeoff and landing activity differs substantially between Medellín’s two candidate airports, suggesting that ground-handling customer outreach could begin at SKMD. Avi-Go data show that from July 3 to September 24, 2026, SKMD recorded 785 business jet departures and 719 arrivals, for a total of 1,504 takeoffs and landings; SKRG recorded 276 departures and 292 arrivals, for a total of 568. Under the airport-based counting method, each takeoff and each landing counts as one movement. These totals therefore reflect ground activity at the two airports, not deduplicated flight counts; of the two, observed activity is more concentrated at SKMD.
Impact: For companies planning to expand business jet ground-handling services in Medellín, SKMD’s higher takeoff and landing volume means they can prioritize customer outreach there. The difference of 936 movements provides a basis for sequencing business visits, but does not directly translate into service revenue.
Recommendation: First, use SKMD’s 1,504 movements to identify accessible based operators and ground-handling partnership channels. Then use SKRG’s 568 movements as a reference for a second phase of expansion. Continue comparing activity at the two airports and allocate staff based on actual customer inquiries.
