## Description

Unlike airports tied into a motorway network, Leticia's Alfredo Vásquez Cobo (IATA: LET, ICAO: SKLT) has no road to the rest of Colombia at all — the nearest highway is more than 800 km away. That isolation makes the airport the region's only fixed link to the country, sitting in the tri-border zone with Brazil and Peru. Bulk goods arrive by Amazon riverboat from Peru and Brazil, while time-critical and higher-value freight flies in, mostly as belly cargo on passenger services to and from Bogotá. There is no large freight terminal here; air cargo is a lifeline rather than a commercial export business. When the river drops in the dry season the wharf can be left on dry land, raising the airport's importance still further.
