El Dorado International Airport (IATA: BOG, ICAO: SKBO) is an international airport serving Bogotá, Colombia and its surrounding areas. The airport is located mostly in the Fontibón district of Bogotá, although it partially extends into the Engativá district and the municipality of Funza in the Western Savanna Province of the Cundinamarca Department.
In 2017, it served almost 31,000,000 passengers, 770,000 metric tons of cargo, and 304,330 aircraft movements. This makes El Dorado the third busiest airport in Latin America in terms of passenger traffic, the second busiest in terms of aircraft movements, and the busiest in terms of cargo. El Dorado is also by far the busiest and most important airport in Colombia, accounting for just under half (49%) of the country's air traffic.
El Dorado is a hub for the Colombian flag-carrier Avianca, LATAM Colombia, Satena, Wingo, and a number of cargo companies.

It's done pretty well. And it has become one of my favourite airports in the sim - also thanks to a very good coverage of other airports in Colombia to fly to.
OK, here and there, there are things that could have been improved, for example the aerial image that is not too sharp and looks a bit "flattend" from the approach view. Also, I wouldn't have complained about a little more surrounding scenery or a few things that create some more atmosphere, as the direct neighbourhood of the airport looks a bit "generic" even from the taxiways. On the other hand, performance is suffering enough even without additional eye candy.
The terminals look great, SODE integration and night lighting work flawless, and I haven't found any bugs that would prevent you from enjoying this place.
All in all, a pretty good rendition that everybody will love who wants to have a real hub in Colombia or in general in South America.
But ... the size of this airport, the amount of overall detail, this is just mind-blowing and a credit to the designers. And the shortcomings are soon lost in this massive and highly detailed airport, the FPS was average throughout the experience.
Consume muchos recursos, no es un aeropuerto que uno pueda usar con una densidad muy alta, por que no conseguirás mas de 12/15 fps, cosa que no me pasa con aeropuertos de categoría superior de otros grandes desarolladores.
la verdad que es una pena, no creo que lo llegue a volar por que no soy de estar restando calidad a mi paisaje en general para poder hacer uso de un aeropuerto.
