It is located 13 km from the city of Armenia, 2 km from La Tebaida in Quindío, the nearest municipalities in Valle del Cauca are Caicedonia at 15 km, Sevilla at 27 km and Zarzal at 30 km.

It was rebuilt and improved after the Armenia Earthquake, which occurred on January 25, 1999. It receives flights from Avianca, LATAM, Wingo, Spirit Airlines, Copa Airlines and the Colombian low-cost airline Clic Air. Its runway is capable of receiving aircraft such as: Boeing 737 and Boeing 727, Airbus A318, Airbus A319 and Airbus A320, Embraer 190 and Fokker 100, among others. Currently, El Edén International Airport, serving the city of Armenia (Quindío), is the airport with the longest runway in the coffee-growing region, and therefore the one that allows it to be defined as an airport with a great future in the region, given its expansion possibilities.

On March 13, 2009, the airport was formally declared International by Aerocivil, which means it is authorized to operate scheduled and charter international flights. Spirit Airlines began operating to this terminal from Fort Lauderdale on November 13, 2009.Tiara Air began flights on October 25, 2012, however, canceled its operations in Armenia shortly thereafter (given the company's financial difficulties).

In March 2015, Aerocivil approved new air routes for El Edén International Airport in Armenia, with two airlines: Air Panama and Viva Colombia. Air Panama began operations to Panama City at Marcos A. Gelabert Airport on December 1, 2015, with three weekly flights operated with Fokker 100 aircraft. However, for administrative reasons, Air Panama ceased operations from El Edén on February 1, 2018. However, on December 2, 2021, flights to Panama City began with Copa Airlines, presenting El Edén International Airport users with a great opportunity to connect through the Hub of the Americas in Panama (at Tocumen International Airport) to more than 60 international destinations. In mid-2021, LATAM Airlines announced the resumption of operations to Bogotá, starting June 16, using its Airbus A320 aircraft. On the other hand, the airline Viva Colombia obtained authorization for the routes Medellín-Armenia-Medellín, Cartagena-Armenia-Cartagena, and San Andrés - Armenia - San Andrés. Which began in March 2022. In 2023, the airline VivaAir cancels all its air operations inside and outside the country. The arrival of the Chilean low-cost airline JestMart is expected.
