Is CLO easy to connect through?

Alfonso Bonilla Aragón is a compact single-terminal airport serving Cali, so connections are physically simple but the airport lacks the redundancy and staffing of a major hub, meaning any irregular operations or immigration queues can eat quickly into tight layovers. Most travelers connecting internationally will pass through a modest customs and immigration checkpoint, which is the main bottleneck rather than distances between gates. CLO has one terminal building with domestic and international sections connected by a single corridor, so all transfers are on foot with no trains or shuttles required. International arrivals must clear immigration and customs before reaching the domestic side, which is the only real choke point in an otherwise short walk.
