Remote Pacific coast gateway serving Timbiquí, Colombia.

Location
Timbiquí, Colombia
Timbiquí Airport (IATA: TBD, ICAO: SKMB) is a small regional airstrip located in the municipality of Timbiquí, in the Cauca department of southwestern Colombia. It serves as a critical air link for a community that has virtually no road access to the rest of Colombia, making air travel the primary means of connection to larger cities. The airport operates limited scheduled and charter services, primarily connecting Timbiquí to Cali and other regional centers. Given the surrounding terrain of dense Pacific rainforest and river deltas, the airstrip plays an essential role in supplying the community with goods and emergency services. Timbiquí is a municipality predominantly inhabited by Afro-Colombian and indigenous communities, and the airport supports both local economic activity and humanitarian operations in this isolated region.
Terminals
The airport features a basic, small-scale terminal typical of remote Colombian airstrips, with minimal passenger facilities.
Getting to & from
Ground transport options are extremely limited; river boats and local paths are the primary means of movement within the municipality, as there are no paved roads connecting Timbiquí to the national road network.
Airlines here
Regional Colombian carriers such as Satena have historically operated or supported routes to Timbiquí given its status as a remote, underserved community.
