This airport was actually built by the city's own citizens! They wanted it's City to have an airport so what they did? They built it themselves!

My girlfriend is from Pereira and the only time I'm nervous in Colombia. Is when I'm landing and taking off at the airport.

I lived there until I was 8 years old, left in 1969. I remember seeing Lockheed Constellations stomping at the end of the runway getting their engines warmed up, and I think I was there for the first 737 arrival. This was a big deal because it was the first jet that could land on what was a short runway (as far as I know - I was 8, and the internet wasn't even a twinkle in someone's eye so I couldn't check...). I have only one memory of the day I left, that I cried as we took off. Took me a long time to get over living in Pereira.

I grew up in Pereira and let me tell you it’s a beautiful place, it’s the first time I’m seeing the airport from this angle and it’s CRAZY! A couple of years ago they expanded the runway a little and I witnessed the process. Thank you so much for posting this awesome perspective of our beautiful airport!
