About Jaqué Airport
Jaqué Airport is a small regional airfield serving Jaqué, a Pacific coastal town in the Darién Province of southeastern Panama. It provides an important air link for one of Panama's most remote regions, connecting local communities and visitors to the rest of the country.
The airport has a single small terminal and a paved runway of about 850 metres, at an elevation of around 9 metres above sea level. Scheduled domestic service has historically been provided by Air Panama on the route between Jaqué and Panama City–Albrook, although service availability can vary in this remote area.
Located immediately next to Jaqué town and roughly 38 kilometres west of the Panama–Colombia border, the airport is the main air access point for this part of the Darién coast. Panama City lies about 220 kilometres to the northwest, a journey that can take several hours by road.
Because the region is isolated, the airport plays a vital role for residents, small-scale tourism and supply access. Travelers should expect basic facilities, and onward movement to coastal villages and lodges often depends on local boats or four-wheel-drive transport.
