José Celestino Mutis Airport (BSC/SKBS) serves Bahía Solano, a small coastal town in the Chocó department on Colombia's Pacific coast. The airport provides the primary link between this isolated community and the rest of the country, as no paved roads connect Bahía Solano to the national road network. The airport is named after José Celestino Mutis, the renowned Spanish-Colombian botanist and naturalist of the 18th century. Given the region's extreme geographic isolation, air travel is essential for residents, tourists, and the transport of goods and supplies. Bahía Solano is known for its exceptional biodiversity, whale watching, and proximity to Utría National Park, making the airport an important entry point for ecotourism in one of the world's most biodiverse regions.
