After some time out of service, our Cargo Shuttle is back to reconnect the airbridge between Bogotá and Miami! In this special edition, we’ll carry a symbolic shipment in honor of the floral industry—a key sector of Colombia’s economy and one of its main exports to the United States.

Operating cargo flights out of El Dorado (SKBO) presents a real challenge due to the airport's high elevation (8,360 feet above sea level). Heavy aircraft like the Boeing 747, MD-11, or Airbus A300 experience significant performance penalties, requiring precise planning of weight, thrust, and takeoff configuration to ensure a safe departure. Are you ready to take on the challenge and bring your aircraft to its destination? We can't wait to see you there!

Date/Time: May 10th, 2025
Departure Window - 1900z-2200z
Arrival Window - 2200z-0200z
