## Description

Cut off from Colombia's road network entirely, Leticia depends on Alfredo Vásquez Cobo International Airport (LET/SKLT) and the Amazon river for everything it consumes. The airport is the main gateway to the Amazonas department and to the tri-border area shared with Brazil and Peru. A modernisation programme worth roughly USD 42 million delivered a new passenger terminal, a cargo terminal with eight warehouses, two freighter hangars, a control tower and an apron for five aircraft. Most freight moves as belly cargo on domestic services to Bogotá, supplemented by supply flights; no cargo carrier is confirmed as based here. Inbound traffic is dominated by consumer goods, construction material and food, while outbound volumes stay small. Customs is handled by DIAN, with separate border arrangements towards Tabatinga in Brazil and Santa Rosa in Peru. Bogotá El Dorado (BOG) is the connecting airport for larger air freight consignments, while heavy goods realistically travel by river barge via Manaus.
