## Description

Colombia's civil aviation authority Aerocivil suspended the operating permit of Juan H. White Airport (CAQ, SKCU) at Caucasia on 19 July 2024 because the field did not meet the required technical conditions; regional media later reported that operations had resumed, but that is not evidence of a settled, continuous scheduled service, so shippers should verify the current status before planning. The airport is owned by Aerolínea de Antioquia (ADA), and before the suspension Satena and Pacífica de Aviación flew mainly to Medellín. Cargo handling has always been limited to loose consignments in the holds of small turboprops: no cargo terminal, pallet handling, cold rooms or customs post is documented, and no international services operate. The Bajo Cauca region around Caucasia lives on gold mining, cattle and agricultural trade, generating demand for spare parts, tooling and documents rather than for volume freight. Caucasia sits on the Troncal Occidental highway between Medellín and the Caribbean coast, which points to the practical answer: José María Córdova at Rionegro near Medellín (MDE), roughly 230 road kilometres south, is the region's cargo and customs airport. Los Garzones at Montería (MTR) is the closer alternative to the north.
