Operations Gradually Normalize at Bogota and Rionegro Airports Following Radar Display System Outage
Flight operations at Bogota and Rionegro air terminals are returning to normal after authorities resolved a technical issue affecting the radar display systems used for air traffic management. The immediate activation of technical and operational contingency protocols ensured flight safety and minimized disruptions for passengers.
Operational Stabilization at El Dorado International Airport
At Bogota’s El Dorado International Airport, air traffic flows are steadily recovering after the radar screen outage was resolved.
To mitigate disruptions and restore normal operations, several technical contingency measures were implemented:
- A dedicated team of air traffic controllers was deployed exclusively to recover and re-file the affected flight plans.
- The system regained operational stability following technical support interventions.
- Departure operations were running normally at the capital’s hub at the time the official report was issued.
- Air Traffic Control (ATC) personnel and engineering support teams continue to closely monitor operational performance.
Lifting of Restrictions in Rionegro and Medellin Airspace
Meanwhile, flight operations at Jose Maria Cordova International Airport in Rionegro are now operating normally.
Full operations resumed after authorities lifted the temporary increased aircraft separation minima, which had been enforced as a precautionary measure across Medellin airspace during system technical recovery.
Ongoing Monitoring and Passenger Guidance
Colombia’s Civil Aviation Authority (Aeronautica Civil) confirmed that it will continue providing updates regarding technical evaluations and the full recovery of nationwide air operations. Concurrently, the civil aviation authority reiterated that operational safety remains the top priority across all measures taken, while advising passengers to stay in direct contact with their airlines to check flight and schedule st
