## Description

Mitú's only dependable link to the rest of Colombia is an airstrip: Fabio Alberto León Bentley Airport (IATA: MVP, ICAO: SKMU) serves the Vaupés departmental capital, which no road reaches — the alternative is several days upriver on the Río Vaupés. Its 1,855-metre asphalt runway handles roughly 30 movements a day between 06:00 and 18:00, with only limited, largely military night operations. Food, medicine, mail and building materials therefore travel as belly cargo on turboprops flown by Satena, the state carrier for Colombia's remote regions, and EasyFly, mostly from Bogotá-El Dorado (BOG) and partly via Villavicencio (VVC). There is no cargo terminal, no freighter service and no cold chain, though aviation fuel is available on the field. MVP is a domestic airport with no customs post, so forwarders consolidate international consignments in Bogotá and clear them there. For practical purposes, MVP is a small-volume feeder into Vaupés, not a handling point.
