Shumba Airport, officially known as Jaén Airport, serves the city of Jaén in the Cajamarca region of northern Peru. It provides essential air connectivity to this relatively remote area, linking it to Lima and other Peruvian cities that would otherwise require lengthy overland travel through challenging Andean and Amazonian terrain. The airport is a small regional facility operated under Peru's civil aviation framework. Its location in the Jaén province makes it an important access point for the surrounding agricultural and commercial activity, as well as for travelers heading toward the nearby Marañón River basin. Flights primarily connect Jaén to Lima, serving both business travelers and locals who rely on air transport given the difficulty of road access. The airport remains modest in scale, with limited infrastructure typical of Peru's secondary regional airports.
