In emergency situations, it serves as the alternate airport of the city of Montería.

It has regional and national operations with regular passenger services to Bogotá and Medellín.

On July 12, 1939, the first plane landed, inaugurating the services of the Las Brujas airport, which had been under construction at the initiative of SCADTA and illustrious personalities since 1938.

The opening flight of the airport was operated by the airline SCADTA (current Avianca), with a Sikorsky S-38 hybrid aircraft.
