Small airstrip serving the remote Pachiza district of Peru.

Location
Pachiza, Peru
Pachiza Airport (ICAO: SPZH) is a small general aviation airstrip located in Pachiza, a district in the San Martín region of northern Peru. It serves as a basic air access point for a remote community in the high jungle (selva alta) area, where road travel can be difficult and time-consuming. The airport supports light aircraft operations and is used primarily for local connectivity, emergency medical transport, and occasional cargo flights. It does not handle commercial jet traffic and has minimal infrastructure typical of rural Peruvian airstrips. Pachiza is situated in the Huallaga Valley area, and the airstrip helps link the community to larger regional hubs such as Juanjuí or Tarapoto, improving access to services and reducing isolation for residents.
