General Ulpiano Paez Airport, identified by the IATA code SNC and the ICAO code SESA, is an airport that serves both public and military purposes, located in the coastal city of Salinas in the Santa Elena Province of Ecuador. Situated on a peninsula extending into the Pacific Ocean, the city and airport enjoy a scenic coastal setting.
Within the airport premises, you can find the Salinas non-directional beacon (NDB) with the identification code SLS, as well as the VHF omnidirectional range with distance measuring equipment (VOR-DME) identified as SAV. These navigational aids contribute to efficient and safe air traffic control in the vicinity.
The airport’s history dates back to World War II when it was constructed in 1942. During that time, the United States Army, operating through the Air Force, utilized the airport. Their primary mission was to ensure the security and defense of the South American coast and the Panama Canal against potential Japanese air and naval attacks. The strategic location of the airport played a vital role in safeguarding these areas during the war. In the years following the war, the airfield transitioned to serve both military and civilian purposes, supporting various aviation activities.
In 2008, General Ulpiano Paez Airport facilitated charter flights operated by VIP Ecuador airline. This allowed for convenient air travel options for passengers seeking to visit or depart from Salinas and its surrounding areas. Recognizing the need for enhanced infrastructure, significant improvements were made in 2014. The airport underwent expansion, resulting in the construction of two asphalt runways, a spacious 1,800 square meter terminal building, a modern control tower, a technical block, a fire insurance hangar, a machine room, and designated safety zones.
