Ruben Cantu Airport

Ruben Cantu Airport, designated by IATA code SYP and ICAO code MPSA, is a domestic regional airport serving the city of Santiago de Veraguas in central Panama. It provides essential air connectivity for the Veraguas province, linking the region to Panama City and other domestic destinations. The airport handles relatively modest passenger volumes typical of a secondary regional hub in Panama. It is named after Ruben Cantu, a notable figure associated with the local region. Operations are primarily focused on short-haul domestic routes serving communities in central Panama. As a smaller facility, the airport plays an important role in the transport infrastructure of the interior provinces, complementing road travel on the Pan-American Highway which also passes through the Santiago area.
