The development of production in Colombia was crying out for a port that would allow direct access to the country's coastal areas.
The then manager of the Colombian American Society, Herman Kuehl, was the key man for the negotiation and construction of the aerodrome in the Techo premises.
On August 7, the day of the Battle of Boyacá, 1930, the Techo aerodrome was completely inaugurated during the Government of Enrique Olaya Herrera, and the premises of Luis Carlos Paez.
The airport, which was located where the current monument to the flags is, was strategically equipped: the width of the runway is estimated to be 40 meters, control and communication towers, buildings, broadcast towers, a passenger platform and there, in the middle of the plain, the first urban colonization germinated, a bright and encouraging outlook for the capital.
Many citizens of the capital were unaware of these large flying machines, others had only seen them through the pages of a newspaper, but, for the first time, Bogotá had its own airport.
