La Nubia Airport (IATA: MZL, ICAO: SKMZ) is located in Manizales, Colombia, 8 kilometres (5 mi) southeast of the city's downtown. Due to its short runway and limited ramp space, the only aircraft which can use the airport are turbopropeller aircraft such as the Fokker 50, ATR 42 and the Dash 8 models. The main problem of La Nubia airport is weather. Sometimes shut down to fog, rain or winds, it is difficult for airlines to offer a reliable schedule for the passengers wishing to visit Manizales and Caldas, and combined with its limited hours of operation (just daylight), this fact has been an obstacle for the region's development.
