Small regional airport serving Ecuador's oil-rich Amazonian region.

Location
Shushufindi, Ecuador
Shushufindi Airport (ICAO: SESF) is a small regional airport located in Shushufindi, a town in Sucumbíos Province in the Ecuadorian Amazon. The airport primarily serves the local oil industry, which dominates the economy of this region, as well as limited passenger traffic connecting the town to other parts of Ecuador. The airport has a single unpaved or lightly improved runway and minimal infrastructure, reflecting its role as a remote, functional airstrip rather than a major commercial hub. Air access is an important link for this isolated Amazonian community, which has limited road connectivity to Ecuador's major urban centers.
