Capitán Av. Salvador Ogaya G. airport guide

The airport sits about 4 km southwest of Puerto Suárez, in the far east of Santa Cruz Department, close to the Brazilian border. Its ICAO code is SLPS, and it is also listed as Puerto Suárez International Airport. The field lies at an elevation of roughly 134 m.

The single asphalt runway, 05/23, is 2,000 m long. That length suits regional and mid-size jets. The Brazilian town of Corumbá and its own airport lie about 16 km to the east, which makes this field the Bolivian gateway for the border area and the Pantanal.

Press coverage of the tender describes the terminal as a medium-sized domestic facility. The Ministry of Public Works has called for bids for maintenance of the passenger terminal and for upgrades to its bathrooms, linked to investment around the Mutún iron and steel project.
