Getting from Medellín city center to Medellín airport

A second facility, Olaya Herrera Airport (EOH), operates domestic and regional flights and sits just 3 km southwest of the city center. Reaching either airport from Medellín is straightforward thanks to a range of transport options including metro, integrated feeder buses, taxis, ride-hailing apps, and private transfers. Journey times vary considerably depending on traffic conditions, particularly on the highway to MDE. This guide covers the main ways to travel from Medellín city center to both airports.
