Remote highland airstrip serving Ancash region, Peru.

Location
Huanacopampa, Peru
Huanacopampa Airport (ICAO: SPPP) is a small general aviation airstrip located in Huanacopampa, in the Ancash region of Peru. It serves as a basic landing facility for light aircraft accessing this remote Andean area, which is not connected by reliable road infrastructure to larger urban centers. The airport has no scheduled commercial airline service and primarily supports small charter flights, humanitarian operations, and occasional government or emergency missions. Its high-altitude Andean location presents typical challenges for aircraft operations, including reduced air density and limited navigation aids. Facilities at Huanacopampa are minimal, consistent with its role as a rural airstrip rather than a formal commercial airport. It has no IATA code assigned, reflecting its status outside the commercial aviation network.
