Capt. J. Montenegro Airport guide

Capt. J. Montenegro Airport serves Pedasí, a Pacific-coast town in Los Santos Province on the Azuero Peninsula in southern Panama. The airfield sits about 2 km north of the town and runs parallel to the coastline. It replaced an earlier airstrip that lay 1.6 km northwest of Pedasí. The airport carries the ICAO code MPPD and is also listed as Cap. Justiniano Montenegro Airport and Pedasí Airport.

The airport handles mainly domestic traffic. It has a single asphalt runway, 15/33, about 1,015 m long. That length suits small turboprops such as the 12-seat Cessna Caravan that operators have flown on the Panama City route.

Scheduled service is thin and has changed over time. Air Panamá announced the return of its Panama City to Pedasí flights in 2022, with three round trips a week, and Flytrip now lists a Panama City to Pedasí route. Reports place the Panama City end of the route at Albrook airport, with a flight time of about 45 minutes. Check the current schedule with the airline before you book, since schedules on this route have changed.
