## Description

Trade between Colombia and Ecuador here moves by truck, not by plane: San Luis Airport (IPI) sits at roughly 2,980 m near the Rumichaca border bridge at Ipiales, one of the highest commercial airfields in the country. It handles regional passenger flights toward the interior and has no cargo terminal or freight handling, so it is honestly not cargo-capable. Cross-border goods clear customs at the Rumichaca land crossing, while any air freight from the region is consolidated through Pasto (PSO) and the Cali (CLO) cargo complex. For forwarders, Ipiales is a road border point rather than an air-cargo station.
