## Description

Cuchintza is a bush airstrip in Ecuador's Amazon lowlands, at about 833 feet east of the Andes and without an IATA or ICAO code. Strips like this serve communities with no road access and are flown by light aircraft carrying people, supplies and medical cases; there is no scheduled service, no cargo handling, no warehousing and no customs post. Regional feeders operate via Macas (XMS) and Shell-Mera (PTZ), while Ecuador's air freight is handled at Quito (UIO) and Guayaquil (GYE) with cargo terminals, cool chains and customs.
