Puerto Esperanza Airport
Esperanza, Peru
Puerto Esperanza Airport (ICAO: SPEP) is an airport serving the town of Esperanza in the Ucayali Region of Peru. The town is on the Purus River. The airport provides a vital air link to the nearby community, serving as the only route for airlifted donations, medicines, and other critical supplies in the remote town, while also offering air connectivity through Peruvian Air Force civic flights and medevac for locals. However, in 2024, local leaders complained that the runway is in disrepair and that they have repeatedly appealed to national authorities, CORPAC and the Ministry of Transport and Communications to repair it, without success. The Puerto Esperanza VOR (Ident: PZA) is located on the field.
