Departure on‑time performance was 78.87%, a change of -2.41 percentage points from a year earlier, with occasional afternoon showers and air traffic flow measures creating pockets of delay. Cancelled departures totaled 18 (-76.00%), limiting severe disruption for most travelers; building a modest buffer helps on weekend peaks.
Service at José María Córdova International Airport is led by a mix of Colombian and international carriers connecting to Bogotá, Panama City, and major U.S. gateways. The network balances domestic connectivity with point‑to‑point links to leisure markets, reinforcing the hub role for the Aburrá Valley.
Over the next 4–8 weeks, schedules at the hub should remain broadly steady with departure on‑time performance near current levels; afternoon convection and Friday–Sunday peaks may still trigger delays. Passengers should favor morning departures, allow 60–90 minutes of buffer for security and connections on busy days, and monitor real‑time gate and weather alerts via the NextFly App.
