Remote jungle airstrip serving the Shuar communities of Ecuador.

Location
Etza, Ecuador
Etsa Airstrip (ICAO: SEET) is a small general aviation facility located in the Amazonian region of Ecuador, near the community of Etza. It serves as a vital access point for indigenous Shuar communities in a region where road infrastructure is extremely limited or nonexistent. The airstrip primarily supports missionary aviation organizations, humanitarian supply flights, and light charter aircraft connecting remote settlements to larger urban centers. Operators such as Alas de Socorro (SAMAIR) and similar mission aviation groups have historically served routes to such remote Amazonian strips. Given its remote jungle location, the facility is basic in nature, with no commercial airline service. It plays a critical role in providing access to medical care, supplies, and communication for the surrounding indigenous population.
