Coronel FAP Francisco Secada Vignetta International Airport (IATA: IQT, ICAO: SPQT) is an airport serving Peru's fifth largest city, Iquitos. It and Pucallpa's Captain Rolden International Airport are the main air hubs in the Peruvian Amazon. It is used as a connecting point for many small cities, towns, and other urbanizations located in the jungle. In the nearby past it has served Brazilian destinations and Miami, Florida, USA but these scheduled flights are no longer available. There has been many ongoing talks of direct Cusco-Iquitos flights but there currently aren't any. Its runways are fully paved. It has flights to other destinations in the country with various airlines. It is the main gateway for tourists visiting the city of Iquitos, spectacular jungle lodges, and the Amazon Rainforest, the world's largest rain forest.
