Ciudad Libertad Airport (ICAO: MULB) is an airport serving Havana, Cuba.[1] and formerly known as El Aeropuerto de Columbia. Located in the borough of Playa, it was Cuba's main airport until 1930, when it was replaced by José Martí International Airport. The airport was also the location of the 1960 Cuban Grand Prix. Two days prior to the Bay of Pigs Invasion in 1961 the airport was bombed by US planes.[2] It is now used as a military airport, and is now surrounded by the city. It previously had two runways, but only one remains.
Facilities[]
The airport resides at an elevation of 30 m (98 ft) above mean sea level. It has one runway designated 08/26 with an asphalt surface measuring 2,065 m × 50 m (6,775 ft × 164 ft).[1]
