Colombia: Flight disruptions ongoing at Olaya Herrera International Airport in Medellin, Jan. 2

Authorities temporarily suspended operations at the Olaya Herrera (EOH) International Airport in Medellin as of Jan. 2 after a private aircraft obstructed the runway after skidding during an emergency landing. Authorities are working to clear the aircraft from the runway but have indicated that they do not have an estimated time for when operations will resume.

Delays are possible in the coming hours. Lingering delays are likely to continue throughout the day, even after operations at EOH resume, as authorities reposition aircraft and clear the backlog of flights.
