Camilo Daza International Airport (Camilo Daza International Airport)
Camilo Daza International Airport (Aeropuerto Internacional Camilo Daza, ) is an international airport located in Cúcuta, Colombia. It serves the Norte de Santander Department. The airport is 5 km from the center of Cúcuta. It has international facilities and is able to operate general aviation flights to international destinations. It is named after Colombian aviation pioneer Camilo Daza.

Camilo Daza International Airport was inaugurated on October 10, 1971, by the then President of the Republic, Misael Pastrana Borrero, and his Minister of Public Works, Argerino Duran Quintero. At the initiative of then President of the Society of Public Improvements, Juan Agustín Ramírez Calderón, the airport was given the name of Camilo Daza as a tribute to the aviation pioneer and founder of the Colombian Air Force.

On March 17, 1988, Avianca Flight 410, a Boeing 727 crashed on low mountains after takeoff to Cartagena's Rafael Núñez International Airport. All 143 people on board died. This was the only air accident in the history of the city.

In 2005, the Civil Aeronautics of Colombia Agency announced a renovation of the airport, seeking to transform it into one of the most modern in the nation. This renovation improved the air terminal infrastructure, provided a more contemporary design, and made air traffic safer with a powerful light at night.

The airport was renovated and expanded again from 2018 to 2019. A new facade was built, along with a new food plaza and offices for Aerocivil. The terminal was extended, the parking lot expanded to a capacity of 300 vehicles, and the check-in and baggage claim areas were renovated. The newly renovated and expanded airport was inaugurated on 26 April 2019.
