La Nubia Airport (IATA: MZL, ICAO: SKMZ) is an airport serving Manizales, Colombia, 8 kilometres (5 mi) southeast of the city's downtown.
Due to its short runway and limited ramp space, the only aircraft that can use the airport are turbopropeller aircraft such as the Fokker 50, ATR 72, and Dash 8. The main problem of La Nubia airport is weather. Sometimes shut down due to fog, rain, or winds, it is difficult for airlines to offer a reliable schedule for the passengers wishing to visit Manizales and Caldas. Combined with its daylight-only hours of operation and limited runway length.
Runway 28 has a 75 metres (246 ft) displaced threshold. The Manizales VOR-DME (Ident: MZL) is located 3.7 nautical miles (6.9 km) west of the Runway 10 threshold. The runway has a steep dropoff into a river valley to the south. There is high terrain north and south of the airport.

Another cool little Colombian airport by Sierrasim. very enjoyable and nicely don! Good terminal model with interior, and ground poly is very nicely textures as well. I love the sloped runway! Unfortunately not compatible with AI (I'm in P3Dv4), but it definitely adds a lot to the atmosphere at the airport! This is definitely a step up from the previous version Sierrasim released, when they were still SimDesignsCo.
