Gateway to Colombia's remote eastern Llanos region.

Location

Puerto Carreño, Colombia

German Olano Airport (IATA: PCR, ICAO: SKPC) serves Puerto Carreño, the capital of the Vichada Department in eastern Colombia. Located near the confluence of the Meta and Orinoco rivers, the airport is a critical transportation hub for a region with limited road connectivity. The airport is named after Colombian military aviator German Olano. It operates domestic routes connecting Puerto Carreño to Bogotá and other Colombian cities, serving government officials, residents, and travelers accessing the remote Llanos Orientales region. Given the vast distances and poor road infrastructure of the Vichada Department, the airport is essentially the primary means of access for most travelers. It handles relatively low passenger volumes but plays an outsized role in regional connectivity and commerce.

Terminals

The airport has a small, single terminal typical of regional Colombian airports, with limited facilities suited to low passenger volumes.

Getting to & from

Ground transport from the airport into Puerto Carreño is limited to taxis and informal vehicles, as the town is small and close to the airfield.
