Gateway to Peru's Amazonian heartland in Ucayali.
Location
Pucallpa, Peru
Cap FAP David Abenzur Rengifo International Airport serves Pucallpa, the capital of the Ucayali Region in the Peruvian Amazon. It is the primary air link connecting this remote jungle city to Lima and other Peruvian destinations, playing a critical role in regional commerce, cargo, and humanitarian logistics.
The airport is named in honor of Peruvian Air Force Captain David Abenzur Rengifo, a local aviation hero. Its international designation reflects its capacity rather than a heavy volume of scheduled international routes, as most traffic is domestic.
