## Description

Crates of fresh fish and tropical produce are a routine sight on the apron at Iquitos, where ground handler Swissport processes general and special cargo, perishables included. The reason is geography: Iquitos, capital of the Loreto region, is the largest city on earth with no road connection, reachable only by river or air. That isolation turns the airport into essential freight infrastructure for the Amazon basin rather than a convenience. Smaller aircraft fan out from here to dozens of jungle settlements that have no other supply line. Scheduled and cargo traffic mostly routes through Lima, where shipments join the international network. As Peru's fifth-largest city, Iquitos depends heavily on this air bridge. For forwarders, IQT is a working cargo station, not a feeder stop.
