Enrique Olaya Herrera Airport (EOH) is Medellín's close-in secondary airport, located in the Aburrá Valley just southwest of downtown. Once the city's main gateway, it now handles regional turboprop and domestic flights, mainly to Antioquia and Colombia's Pacific coast. Its urban location makes it convenient for city access but limits operations to smaller aircraft.
