History
The air terminal was renamed in honor of General Gustavo Rojas Pinilla (1900–1975), former president of Colombia, who ordered the airport built in the mid-1950s in order to link the Caribbean island with the continental territory of Colombia. The original name of the airport was Sesquicentenario Airport.[2]
Description
The airport is the sixth busiest airport in Colombia in terms of passengers, with 2,431,766 in 2019. Most of these passengers come from the continental part of the country, due to poor international direct service to the island. Many international tourists have to fly to one of Colombia's or Panama's largest airports (Bogotá, Medellín, Cali, Santa Marta, Cartagena, Barranquilla or Panama City) to be able to reach the islands, although Copa Airlines and American Airlines maintain flights to Panama City and Miami[3] respectively. Aircraft up to the size of the Airbus A340-200 can land at the airport.

The following airlines operate regular scheduled and charter flights at the airport:
