O Aeroporto Internacional El Dorado (BOG) é o principal aeroporto da Colômbia e um dos mais movimentados da América Latina, localizado a aproximadamente 15 quilômetros a oeste do centro de Bogotá. O aeroporto leva o nome da lendária cidade de ouro de El Dorado, uma referência à rica herança cultural colombiana. Com mais de 38 milhões de passageiros anuais, El Dorado é o terceiro aeroporto mais movimentado da América Latina e o maior hub da região andina. O aeroporto serve como base principal da Avianca, uma das companhias aéreas mais antigas do mundo, fundada em 1919. Situado a uma altitude de 2.548 metros acima do nível do mar, El Dorado é um dos aeroportos comerciais mais elevados do mundo, o que afeta o desempenho das aeronaves e requer pistas mais longas. O Terminal 1, extensamente renovado entre 2012 e 2017, oferece instalações modernas com design inspirado na biodiversidade colombiana. O aeroporto é também o maior centro de carga aérea da América Latina, especialmente importante para a exportação de flores colombianas — o país é o segundo maior exportador mundial de flores cortadas. A localização geográfica da Colômbia, na ponta noroeste da América do Sul, posiciona El Dorado como um ponto de conexão natural entre a América do Norte, a América Central e a América do Sul.
