About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between El Dorado International Airport (BOG), Bogotá, Colombia and Leesburg International Airport (LEE), Leesburg, Florida, United States would travel a Great Circle distance of 1,741 miles (or 2,801 kilometers).
A Great Circle is the shortest distance between 2 points on a sphere. Because most world maps are flat (but the Earth is round), the route of the shortest distance between 2 points on the Earth will often appear curved when viewed on a flat map, especially for long distances. If you were to simply draw a straight line on a flat map and measure a very long distance, it would likely be much further than if you were to lay a string between those two points on a globe. Because of the relatively short distance between El Dorado International Airport and Leesburg International Airport, the route shown on this map most likely still appears to be a straight line.

- On 3 September 1932 it was launched the first Military Transport Service in Colombia, when a Junkers F-13 carried Colonel Luis Acevedo and his party to Leticia.
- In 1973, the airport accomplished a milestone by serving nearly three million passengers and processing nearly 5 million units of luggage.
- This allowed them to streamline their operations by using space previously assigned to customs and immigration for passenger gates and lounges.

- The hub also features facilities for easier transits, such as exclusive check-in counters for travelers in transit, buses for internal transportation between Puente Aéreo and El Dorado terminals, and a special lounge for international transit passengers to avoid having to go through Colombian customs and immigration between transits.
