Nueva Hespérides International Airport is an airport serving Salto, the capital of Salto Department in Uruguay. The airport is 3km (02miles) south of the city.

The airport was formerly served by Transporte Aéreo Militar Uruguayo and Aviasur, but currently has no scheduled air service. There are plans to modernize and resume air service between Salto and Carrasco International Airport in Montevideo.

The Salto VOR-DME (Ident: STO) and non-directional beacon (Ident: ST) are located on the field.[2] [3]
