Columbian Civil Aviation Authority

Greetings all;

Does anybody here have a link or an email address for the civil aviation authority in Columbia? I'm assuming it's going to be in Bogota.

Thanks,

Dan

ColOmbia.

I'll search later, when I get back to the apartment, and will send you what I have.

Otherwise, you can do a search for:

Direccion General de Aeronautica Civil de Colombia (copy and paste the whole thing on your google) or you can also search DGAC Colombia.

Saludos,


Tulio

Thanks Tulio, I was hoping you'd see my post. I need an address for their archivist, or records department preferably.

Thanks,

Dan

Thanks for the spelling lesson too!

Hi, Dan!

The misspelling of Colombia, is really common for English Speakers, not a big deal, unless you are a Colombian (who for sure, like to see their country's name spelled the right way).


In any case, this is it:


http://www.aerocivil.gov.co/

Unidad Administrativa Especial de Aeronautica Civil
Aeropuerto Internacional El Dorado
Bogota, D.C., Colombia
Switchboard: (571) 425 - 1000


International access code:

011 +

Two other numbers, but not sure if they are working numbers:

Telephone: 571-413-9376
Facsimile: 571-413-8091

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

This is the government ministry in charge of Aviation:

http://www.mintransporte.gov.co

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

This is the officer in charge of Security:

Juana Maria Castro Borrero
Advisor, Director General Office

Aeropuerto El Dorado, Piso 4
Bogotá, D.C.
Colombia
jmcastro@aerocivil.gov.co

Phone: (57-1) 266-3587


Good luck, and saludos!

Tulio, for some reason I can't PM you. Can you send me an email at warbirds@shaw.ca please? I need to pick your brain a little.

I'm a big fan of that place (and the women of course) so it bugs me but it's understandable. Whereever I go or whatever I read I just either tell them or send an email to correct it. Couple weeks ago at Starbucks (where it usually happens) the guy actually took his flourescent pen and made the u into an o. Oh and I've learned from watching Telemundo and correspondence with an american friend that's moved and retired to Bogota that country is a lot more interesting than the cliches of cocaine, killings and civil war. I'm not saying it would be safe to fly to Bogota and start driving all over the country, but there are certain areas that are no more dangerous than Los Angeles.
It is kind of funny since 98 percent of the coffee in Starbucks is probably from there they should know how to spell it.
