El Dorado International Airport is in Bogotá, Colombia’s capital. Its IATA code is BOG, and it serves Bogotá as the country’s principal international passenger and cargo gateway.
The airport is located mainly in Bogotá’s Fontibón district, with parts extending into Engativá and the nearby municipality of Funza. It opened on 10 December 1959, replacing Techo International Airport as the city’s main airport. The name refers to El Dorado, the legendary golden country associated with Indigenous traditions around the Bogotá highlands.
El Dorado is a major hub for Avianca and other airlines connecting Colombia with North, Central, and South America, Europe, and the Caribbean. Travelers sometimes confuse it with Bogotá’s former Techo airport or with the mythological El Dorado itself; the quiz answer refers to the modern airport serving the Colombian capital.
