Among the airports that have resumed commercial operations is Alfonso Bonilla Aragón Airport in Cali, which is operating normally with no reported damage to its infrastructure or movement areas. El Caraño Airport in Quibdó has also fully resumed operations as a controlled airport, while El Edén Airport in Armenia has restored commercial air transport services as a controlled airport. However, El Edén will temporarily remain unavailable as an alternate airport for other aircraft due to the physical condition of its facilities.
Commercial operations have also resumed at Gerardo Tovar López Airport in Buenaventura and La Nubia Airport in Manizales, both operating as uncontrolled airports. At La Nubia, this arrangement will remain in place while repairs are carried out on the control tower, where cracks and broken windows were identified. Aerocivil stated that the movement area and runway remain in safe operating condition.
