WELCOME TO COLOMBIA

Las Brujas de Corozal Airport (IATA: CZU, ICAO: SKCZ) is a national airport located 20 minutes from Sincelejo, capital of the department of Sucre. On emergency occasions, it is served by the alternate airport of the city of Montería, capital of the neighboring department of Córdoba. It has regional and national operation. It is the replacement of the Baracoa Airport in Magangué, south of the department of Bolívar.

Historians say that in the place where the airport operates today, during the time of the Inquisition, the alleged witches of the region were burned in mediations of this place. For this reason they say, the site took the name of Las Brujas and over time, when the airport was built, it was baptized with the same name. It has regional and national operation.
