Colonel Carlos Concha Torres Airport (Spanish: Aeropuerto Coronel Carlos Concha Torres) (IATA: ESM, ICAO: SETN) is an airport serving the Pacific coastal city of Esmeraldas, capital of the Esmeraldas Province of Ecuador.

[2][3] It was originally named in honor of José Enrique Rivadeneira,[3] an inspector general of the Ecuadorian navy who died in a 1939 plane crash.

Carlos Concha Torres (es), an army commander who led a war against President Leónidas Plaza in the 1910s, received the most votes.

[9][7] A new apron and air traffic control tower were also built,[8][10] and the runway was lengthened by 200 metres (660 ft).
