Remote jungle airstrip serving the Purus region of Peru.

Location
Alerta, Ucayali Region, Peru
Alerta Airport (IATA: ALD, ICAO: SPAR) is a small regional airstrip located in Alerta, a town in the Purús Province of the Ucayali Region in eastern Peru. Despite the city field listing Fortaleza, the airport actually serves the remote community of Alerta near the Brazilian border in the Amazon basin. The airport provides essential air access to an extremely isolated area where road infrastructure is minimal or nonexistent, making aviation the primary means of transport for passengers, cargo, and emergency services. It supports small general aviation and charter aircraft rather than commercial airline operations. Due to the remote and underdeveloped nature of the region, detailed operational records, historical data, and official information about this airport are very limited in publicly available sources.
Getting to & from
Ground transport options from the airstrip are extremely limited given the remote jungle setting, with travel typically by local vehicle or foot within the community.
Airlines here
No scheduled commercial airline service is known to operate at Alerta Airport; access is primarily via charter or general aviation flights.
