Rafael Núñez International Airport (IATA: CTG, ICAO: SKCG) is an airport serving the Caribbean port city of Cartagena, Colombia. It is the largest airport in the country's northern Caribbean region in terms of passenger movement. It is located between the Caribbean coast and the Ciénaga de la Virgen marsh, in the center of Crespo, a neighborhood in northern Cartagena.
It is named for Rafael Núñez, the former Colombian president who wrote the verses of the National Anthem of Colombia.
The airport has been managed since 1996 by the Sociedad Aeropuertos del Caribe S.A. (SACSA), a Colombian company that has the experience and technology of its partner operator AENA Spain. Airlines including Copa Airlines Colombia, Copa Airlines, Avianca, JetBlue, Spirit Airlines, and Delta Air Lines have international flights from this airport to various cities in North, Central and South America.
The Cartagena VOR-DME (Ident: CTG) is located 14.0 nautical miles (25.9 km) south of the airport. The Cartagena non-directional beacon (Ident: CT) is located 2.9 nautical miles (5.4 km) south of the airport. Both are aligned with Runway 01.
