Remote jungle gateway serving Ecuador's Amazon oil region.

Location

Tiputini, Ecuador

Tiputini Airport (IATA: TPN, ICAO: SETI) is a small domestic airstrip located in Tiputini, a remote settlement in the Orellana Province of Ecuador, deep within the Amazon basin. The airport primarily serves the oil industry and provides essential air access to an area with extremely limited road infrastructure. The facility handles light aircraft and small regional planes, connecting Tiputini to larger Amazonian hubs such as Francisco de Orellana (Coca). It plays a critical role in supporting petroleum operations in the surrounding region, as well as providing logistical support to nearby communities and research stations. Given its remote location near the Yasuní National Park, one of the world's most biodiverse ecosystems, the airport also serves as an entry point for researchers and ecotourism operators working in the area.

Terminals

The airport has basic, minimal passenger facilities typical of a small remote jungle airstrip with no formal terminal infrastructure.

Getting to & from

Ground transport options are extremely limited due to the remote jungle location, with river travel and local vehicles being the primary means of onward access.

Airlines here

Small regional carriers and charter operators serving the Ecuadorian Amazon, including TAME and private aviation companies, have operated flights here.
