## Description

On the banks of the Magdalena River in the weekend-getaway town of Girardot, Santiago Vila Airport (GIR) mostly sees tourism, private and flight-training movements rather than freight. It has no cargo terminal or customs facility and is honestly not cargo-capable. Because Bogotá lies only about 130 km away by motorway, regional goods are simply trucked to the El Dorado cargo complex for clearance and air export. For forwarders, Girardot is a road feeder within the Magdalena valley, not an air-cargo station.
