Teniente General Gerardo Pérez Pinedo Airport is a small regional airport located in Atalaya, a town in the Ucayali Region of Peru, deep within the Amazon basin. It serves as a critical link connecting this remote community to larger Peruvian cities, as road access to Atalaya is extremely limited and often impassable. The airport handles light commercial and charter traffic, primarily serving passengers and cargo moving between Atalaya and cities such as Pucallpa. It plays an essential role in the economic and social life of the surrounding indigenous and settler communities who depend on air transport for access to medical care, goods, and government services.
