Location
Moquegua, Peru
Cesar Torke Podesta Airport is a small regional airport located in Moquegua, a city in the southern highlands of Peru. It serves the Moquegua Region, an area known for mining, agriculture, and its colonial heritage. The airport carries the ICAO designator SPEQ and has no assigned IATA code, reflecting its limited scheduled commercial traffic. The airport primarily supports general aviation, charter operations, and occasional regional flights rather than regular scheduled airline service. Its infrastructure is modest, consistent with the size and economic profile of the city it serves. Moquegua sits at an elevation of approximately 1,410 meters above sea level, and the airport serves as an important link for the region given the mountainous terrain that can make road travel time-consuming.
