El Dorado International Airport has been honored with the Platinum Award for Operational Excellence, granted by Cirium, a UK-based aviation analytics company. This prestigious award recognizes airports that excel in efficiency, reliability, and service—key factors that directly impact the passenger experience.
Performance Metrics and Evaluation
Cirium’s assessment is based on key performance indicators that measure airport efficiency. These include:
- Passenger impact: Analyzing the volume of travelers affected by delays and distinguishing between airports with minimal disruptions and those with higher impact.
- Traffic flow optimization: Evaluating an airport’s ability to manage air traffic efficiently and reduce interruptions.
- Growth and connectivity: Reviewing the number of destinations served, total passenger volume (based on inbound and outbound seats), and annual increases in flight frequency and passenger capacity.
Industry Recognition and Statements
Natalí Leal, General Manager of OPAIN, the company managing El Dorado, emphasized that the award reflects the collective efforts of the airport community to enhance operational efficiency.
“This recognition is for the entire airport community, with whom we work collaboratively to provide the best service and travel experience to the nearly 46 million passengers who pass through El Dorado each year,” Leal stated.
Jeremy Bowen, CEO of Cirium, highlighted the significance of the award:
“El Dorado Airport in Bogotá has set a new standard in 2024, becoming the first airport to receive Cirium’s Platinum Award. This recognition goes beyond on-time performance—it honors an airport’s ability to minimize disruptions and enhance the passenger experience.”
A Growing List of Accolades
This award adds to El Dorado’s growing list of achievements. In 2024, the airport was also named Best Airport in South America by Skytrax—an honor it has received for the sixth time and for the third consecutive year.
With its continued focus on operational excellence and passenger experience, El Dorado International Airport reinforces its position as a leading hub in Latin America.
