At Yurimaguas, river beats runway: this is where the IIRSA Norte road corridor from the Pacific port of Paita ends and the Huallaga river port takes over, sending cargo by barge toward Iquitos. Moises Benzaquen Rengifo Airport (YMS) in Peru's Loreto region is linked to Iquitos and Tarapoto through an air-force agreement with the operator SkyWay. There is no real air-cargo handling – goods travel by truck and, above all, by riverboat, while urgent air shipments route via Tarapoto (TPP) and Lima-Jorge Chávez. For logistics professionals, YMS is a regional field whose freight strength lies in its inland port, not in the air.
