José María Córdova International Airport Announces Nightly Runway Closures for November Maintenance. José María Córdova International Airport (MDE), the primary air hub serving Medellín and the Antioquia region, will implement a scheduled program of overnight runway closures between November 11 and November 29, 2026. The planned suspension allows for essential airside and pavement rehabilitation works authorized by the Civil Aeronautics Authority of Colombia (Aerocivil) and coordinated with commercial carriers to minimize operational friction.
