Alfonso Bonilla Aragón International Airport also known as Palmaseca International Airport is an
airport serving
Cali,
Colombia, and its suburbs. It is Colombia's second largest airport in terms of passengers transporting 2,171,551 in 2006. Alfonso Bonilla Aragón is located in a long, narrow
valley that runs from north to south, and is surrounded by
mountains up to 14,000 feet (4,000 m) high. This makes landing at the airport notoriously difficult, and has led to many accidents. The airport has one
runway, 9,500 feet (3000 m) in
length. This runway is paved, and at an
elevation of 3,162 feet (962 m). The runway can serve aircraft up to the size of a
Boeing 747.
