Remote Pacific coast gateway serving Lopez de Micay municipality.

Location
Micay, Colombia
Lopez de Micay Airport, designated with IATA code LMX, serves the municipality of Lopez de Micay in the Cauca Department of Colombia. The airport provides essential air connectivity to this remote Pacific coast community, which has limited access via road due to the challenging jungle and coastal terrain. The airport functions primarily as a small regional airstrip, supporting light aircraft operations and serving as a critical link for residents, government personnel, and humanitarian missions. Given the area's geographic isolation, air travel is often the most practical means of transportation for both people and goods. Lopez de Micay is a municipality that has faced significant socio-economic challenges, and the airport plays a vital role in connecting the community to larger urban centers such as Cali and Buenaventura.
Terminals
The airport features basic infrastructure typical of small Colombian regional airstrips, without formal passenger terminal facilities.
Getting to & from
