## Description

In the farming province of Veraguas, where cattle and rice dominate, Ruben Cantu Airport (IATA: SYP) serves the provincial capital Santiago. It is a small regional field with only intermittent scheduled service, and it has no air-cargo infrastructure. Santiago's real importance is as a road junction on the Pan-American Highway, the distribution point between western and central Panama, so the region's produce travels overland. Air freight is routed through Tocumen International Airport (PTY), some three to four hours away by road.
