Ciudad de Catamayo Airport, formerly known as Camilo Ponce Enriquez Airport is an airport serving Loja, the capital of the Loja Province in southern Ecuador. Its name was changed from Camilo Ponce Enriquez Airport (after a former president of the country) to Ciudad de Catamayo Airport on 13 May 2013.[2] [3]

The airport is at Catamayo, a city in a mountain valley west of Loja. There is rising terrain south of the airport, and mountainous terrain in all other quadrants. The Loja non-directional beacon (Ident: LOJ) is located on the field.[4] Several sources still list the airport ICAO code as SETM.
