Remote Pacific Coast gateway serving Guapi, Colombia.

Location
Guapi, Colombia
Guapi Airport (IATA: GPI, ICAO: SKGP) is a small regional airport serving the municipality of Guapi in the Cauca department of Colombia, situated along the Pacific Coast. The airport provides essential air connectivity for this isolated coastal community, which has no paved road connections to the rest of the country. Due to Guapi's geographic isolation, the airport plays a critical role in the daily life of residents, serving as the primary link for passengers, cargo, and medical supplies. Regional turboprop aircraft operate the routes, connecting Guapi primarily to Cali and occasionally other Colombian cities. The airport is administered under Colombia's national civil aviation framework overseen by the Aeronáutica Civil. Passenger volumes are modest, reflecting the relatively small population of the surrounding area.
Terminals
The airport has a single small terminal building with basic passenger facilities suited to low-volume regional traffic.
Getting to & from
Ground transport from the airport into Guapi town is limited to taxis and informal vehicles, as the town lacks a formal bus network or road connections to major cities.
Airlines here
