Small regional airport serving Colombia's Tolima department.

Location

Mariquita, Colombia

Mariquita Airport (IATA: MQU, ICAO: SKQU) is a small public airport located in the municipality of San Sebastián de Mariquita, in the Tolima department of Colombia. It serves the town of Mariquita and the surrounding region in the Magdalena River valley. The airport handles limited regional traffic and is primarily used for general aviation, charter flights, and occasional scheduled regional services. Its relatively short runway constrains operations to smaller aircraft types. Mariquita itself is a historically significant Colombian town, and the airport provides connectivity for a region that otherwise relies heavily on road transport to reach larger hubs such as Bogotá or Medellín.

Terminals

The airport has a single small terminal building with basic passenger facilities typical of a regional Colombian aerodrome.

Getting to & from

Ground access to central Mariquita is primarily by road via taxi or private vehicle, as no formal public transit directly serves the airport.
