Small regional airport serving the port city of Paita, Peru.

Location
Paita, Peru
Paita Airport (ICAO: SPIT) is a small general aviation and regional airport located near Paita, a coastal port city in the Piura Region of northwestern Peru. The airport serves limited traffic and primarily supports private and charter operations rather than scheduled commercial airline service. Paita itself is one of Peru's most important fishing and commercial ports, situated on the Pacific coast. The airport plays a secondary role to nearby Capitán FAP Guillermo Concha Iberico International Airport in Piura, which handles the bulk of commercial air traffic for the region. Due to its limited facilities and lack of scheduled commercial routes, Paita Airport sees relatively low passenger and aircraft movements. It functions mainly as an auxiliary airfield for the surrounding area.
