Located about 8.5 km from the centre of Tumbes along the Panamericana Norte, the airport serves travelers heading to nearby beach destinations such as Punta Sal, Máncora and Zorritos. Its position near the border also gives it a role in cross-border travel with Ecuador.

Travelers can continue from the airport by taxi, private transfer, chauffeur or rental car to Tumbes, the coastal resorts and surrounding areas.
