San Cristóbal Galapagos Airport is a significant airport situated on the island of San Cristóbal, within the renowned Galápagos Islands of Ecuador. Positioned on the southwestern end of the island, the airport is surrounded by picturesque rising terrain in the northeast direction. Notably, the runways’ approaches offer breathtaking views over the vast expanse of the ocean.
Within the airport premises, you can find essential navigational aids such as the San Cristobal non-directional beacon (NDB) with the identification code SCR and the VHF omnidirectional range with distance measuring equipment (VOR-DME) identified as SCV. These aids play a crucial role in facilitating precise navigation for aircraft operating in the vicinity of the airport.
In June 2019, the airport’s history took a controversial turn when the Ecuadorian government granted permission for the United States military to utilize the airfield as a base. This decision provoked a range of reactions from the public and various interest groups. The inclusion of a military presence at the airport raised concerns about the potential impact on the delicate ecological balance and unique biodiversity of the Galápagos Islands. Many individuals and organizations expressed their opposition, highlighting the need to preserve the natural beauty and exceptional environmental heritage of the Galápagos.
San Cristóbal Galapagos Airport continues to serve as a gateway to the fascinating Galápagos Islands, enabling tourists and researchers to access this extraordinary destination. Efforts to manage the airport’s operations and address the concerns raised by the military presence are ongoing, aiming to safeguard the unique biodiversity and environmental integrity for which the Galápagos Islands are renowned.
