Jumandy Airport (TNW/SEJD) is a medium airport in Ahuano, Napo Province, Ecuador, serving the Tena area and Ecuador's northern Amazon. Named after the Indigenous Quijos leader Jumandy, it opened in the 2010s to improve access to the region, with a runway and terminal capable of handling regional aircraft. Scheduled commercial service is limited, but it remains useful for charters, general aviation, and emergency access to the Amazon.
💡 Local Tip
Book morning flights when possible; afternoon heat and rain can reduce aircraft performance and cause delays, and early departures also give you a buffer for the long road transfer to Tena.
🚖 Getting There
Pre-arrange a taxi or private transfer from Tena or Ahuano, as ride-hailing and regular public transport at the terminal are unreliable. The drive follows local roads that can be affected by heavy rain, so allow extra time. If you are heading to Amazon lodges, confirm whether your lodge offers pickup from the airport or from Tena.
