About Alfredo Vásquez Cobo International Airport

Overview

Alfredo Vásquez Cobo International Airport serves Leticia, a strategic city located in Colombia's Amazon region near the borders of Peru and Brazil. As a medium-sized airport at 277 ft MSL, it provides critical transportation infrastructure for the remote southeastern Colombian Amazon territory, connecting this isolated region to major national and international destinations.

Flying Conditions

Weather conditions at SKLT are predominantly Visual Flight Rules (VFR), with 75.6% of observations supporting clear flying conditions. Temperatures consistently range between 21°C and 35°C, averaging 26.1°C, which can impact aircraft performance. Wind patterns are predictable, with a northern prevailing direction at an average of 4 knots and occasional gusts up to 15 knots.

Notable Features

The airport is situated in a challenging Amazon basin environment, characterized by tropical terrain and proximity to dense rainforest. Runway 03/21 offers 6,168 feet of asphalted surface, accommodating medium-sized aircraft operations. The airport's geographic position provides unique navigational challenges due to surrounding topographical features and potential microclimate variations.

Approach Considerations

Runway 03/21 demonstrates favorable wind conditions, with 100% wind compatibility and minimal average crosswind of 2.1 knots. Pilots should note the statistically favorable VFR conditions in December, September, and November. Minimal fog occurrence (2.3%) and consistently high visibility (average 10 statute miles) generally support straightforward approach and landing procedures.
