Operating hoursDaylight VFR operations only; no runway lighting and no instrument approach, so no scheduled night operations. Aerocivil suspended the airport's operating permit on 2024-07-19 (Resolution 01279) for lack of technical/runway conditions; it was reauthorized 2024-12-13 and SATENA resumed the Medellin-Caucasia route on 2025-01-27 with 6 weekly frequencies. Effectively PPR-sensitive given this recent history; confirm NOTAM status before ops.
TerminalsSingle small public-use terminal building with basic passenger lounge; no jet bridges; apron sized for turboprop equipment (ATR/Twin Otter class).

Airport contact
A small state-operated (Aerocivil) regional strip serving Caucasia in lower Cauca, Antioquia, with SATENA as sole carrier on the subsidized Medellin (Olaya Herrera) route. The field was fully closed 2024-07-19 to 2024-12-13 by Aerocivil order over technical deficiencies, underscoring its marginal, minimally-equipped infrastructure typical of Colombia's smaller regional aerodromes.

Moon Flights (Moon Aerolínea S.A.S. / Moon Flight Services S.A.S.)
Self-handled, Moon Flights. Medellín (Olaya Herrera/EOH)-based carrier founded Feb 2021; operates Jetstream 32 turboprops (19 seats) on a near-daily Medellín-Caucasia route (6 of 7 days, all except Tuesday, per the carrier's own published schedule at moonflights.com.co) -- this corrects an earlier draft's unsupported "inaugurated Feb 2025" claim, which conflicts with the carrier's documented 2021 founding date. No dedicated third-party ground handler, FBO, or ramp agent is documented at SKCU in business-aviation trip-support directories or Colombian aviation press, so turnarounds are inferred to be handled by the airline's own station staff; self-handling is inferred, not confirmed by a direct company statement.

Policía Nacional de Colombia
National Police maintain an aviation detachment based at this airfield: airport histories (es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aeropuerto_Juan_H._White) document a Policía Nacional Twin Otter operating from Juan H. White airport alongside the Colombian Air Force's King Airs, describing the runway as also serving as a small military/police base. Under Aerocivil's RAC 17 aviation-security framework, Colombia's Policía Nacional typically provides passenger/baggage screening at public-use aerodromes with scheduled commercial service that lack a private AVSEC concessionaire -- the applicable model for a municipally-run field of this size. A CAQ-specific named security unit or checkpoint description was not found; recorded as the standard national arrangement, not independently confirmed for this station.
