It primarily supports light aircraft and occasional charter or regional flights connecting this remote provincial town to larger Peruvian cities. The airport plays a modest but meaningful role in linking an otherwise road-dependent community to the broader national transport network.

- Mototaxis (three-wheeled auto-rickshaws) serving the town center
