    If you're wondering why we're posting videos so infrequently, that's because when we're traveling to shoot new videos, we are unable to cut them in the quality we strive for. Therefore, we focus on creating the graphics and scripts for the videos while traveling, and cut them when we're back home in Vienna. And since, the last few months were crazy in terms of travel (if you follow us on Instagram, you'll know!), we haven't posted as much, but we now have plenty of new videos coming in the until the end of 2024. I hope you're as excited as I am. Which videos are you looking forward to the most? 👀 Maybe I can prioritize the ones you're most excited for...😄

    Fun fact: Despite the short runway and high elevation of Olaya Herrera Airport, once a 747 of Avianaca flew there as a demonstrator flight.
    On the terrace/bridges, sorrounded by the gardens' trees, you can find signs explaining the history of the airport.
    Another interesting note: When you land at Olaya Herrera Airport you will most likely approach runway 02, where you have to fly over a hill and then descend rapidly, diving down the hill right until touch-down.

    • @kalde85

    Another regional airline called Clic also makes these type of flights in Colombia. They also travel from/to Bogotá to/from Medellín Enrique Olaya Herrera with ATR-42 and ATR-72 and use the Puente Aéreo terminal. I liked it that concept of "obscene prices", hehehehe... It has been happening since Viva Air ceased operations.

    My first time on a plane was with SATENA, in a dornier 328 back when they operated that aircraft. The main appealing of the airline are the routes; they fly from Bogotá/Medellín to places faraway from the big cities in the andean mountain range and the caribean coast. Historically, the airline was intended for the social purpose of connectiong the sparse populated zones with the rest of the country, but in recent years it has also tryied to act as catalyst for tourism in the most exotic parts of the country.
    The service is pretty good overall, although there might be delays on the flights sometimes. The prices are usually higher than other airlines because of the type of routes they operate. Also, the flights are not as frequent, for instance, a route from Bogotá to my middle sized town in the east has only 2 flights a week so you have to either book your flight months in advance or pay almost 3x the original price as the flight date gets closer and they start to run out of avaliable seats.

    I like this kind of airline, providing an affordable, essential air service to the local population with no frills, just like a bus. I could say I wish the world had more airlines like that, but there are and they’re called budget airlines. I wish more travellers accept them for what they are and not expect Emirates level experiences everywhere

    There has been talk in the past couple of years about closing EOH as part of Medellin’s redevelopment plans. JMC is much more accessible now with the tunnel from the city to the airport. There are other restrictions around using the airport, for example Avianca as I understand it are not able to use it, even with the appropriate equipment. But as you say an interesting airport although with the plans to expand JMC to two runways perhaps an uncertain future. I live close by JMC and its growth year on year is impressive as are Colombian’s increasing tourism counts.

Maybe you could consider this if you want to go to China. Ali Pulan Airport for example. This Airport was newly opened at the end of 2023 and isn’t even registered on Flightradar24. As of now I can’t find any videos for it and it’s hard to even find how the airport looks like. It’s in Tibet and is around the same height as Daocheng Airport. The only flights I have found go to Chengdu Airport and are operated by Air China I think. Nonetheless these videos give me insights into all kinds of Airlines in other countries I haven’t visited soo thank you for sharing your experience
