Location

Chachapoyas, Peru

Chachapoyas Airport (IATA: CHH, ICAO: SPPY) is a small regional airport serving the city of Chachapoyas, capital of the Amazonas region in northern Peru. It provides essential air connectivity to this relatively remote area, which is known for the nearby Kuelap fortress and the Gocta waterfall. The airport handles limited domestic traffic, primarily connecting Chachapoyas with Lima. Its relatively short runway and high-altitude surroundings present operational considerations typical of Andean regional airports. Due to its location in a mountainous area, flights can be subject to weather-related delays. The airport plays a key role in supporting tourism and regional commerce in one of Peru's lesser-visited but historically significant destinations.

Terminals

The airport has a single small terminal building handling both departures and arrivals for its modest passenger volumes.

Getting to & from

Taxis and informal shared transport (colectivos) are the primary means of traveling between the airport and the city of Chachapoyas.
