Puerto Obaldia Airport is an airport serving Puerto Obaldía, a Caribbean coastal town in the Guna Yala comarca (indigenous province) of Panama.
Between 2008 and 2010, the deteriorated NW/SE runway was replaced with a longer, wider concrete runway 17/35.[3] [4] [5]
The runway runs uphill from the sea. Mountainous terrain immediately south and east requires approach and departure be made over the water.
The La Palma VOR (Ident: PML) is located 45.7nmi west-southwest of the airport.[6]
