Distance & flight time from ATA

Comandante FAP German Arias Graziani Airport

Comandante FAP German Arias Graziani Airport serves Anta and the wider Chachapoyas area in northern Peru's Amazonas region. Named for a Peruvian Air Force officer, the field climbs to a striking 9,097 feet, making it one of the higher-elevation airfields found anywhere in Peru. One runway accommodates light regional aircraft, since the surrounding Andean terrain limits the type of equipment that can safely operate here. The airport provides a crucial air link for travelers visiting the nearby Kuélap fortress and other archaeological sites, cutting down a long overland journey through mountainous roads. Scheduled service tends to be limited and weather-dependent given the high-altitude approach. Anta's small terminal reflects the modest traffic typical of a remote Amazonas airfield.
