Coronel FAP Francisco Secada Vignetta International Airport serves Iquitos, the largest city in the world that cannot be reached by road, making it the primary lifeline for passengers and cargo in the Loreto region of Peru. The airport is named after a Peruvian Air Force colonel and aviation pioneer, Francisco Secada Vignetta. Located within the city of Iquitos itself, the airport handles a significant volume of domestic traffic as well as some international operations, primarily to neighboring countries in South America. It serves as a critical hub for access to the Amazon rainforest, supporting tourism, commerce, and humanitarian efforts in the region. The airport has undergone various infrastructure improvements over the years to accommodate growing passenger demand, reflecting Iquitos's importance as a gateway to Amazonian ecotourism and biodiversity.
