El Trompillo Airport

El Trompillo Airport (IATA: SRZ, ICAO: SLET) is located in the south part of Santa Cruz, Bolivia, about 2 km (1.25 miles) away from the central plaza.

El Trompillo Airport was created in 1920 with a runway that measured no more than 800 meters (2,624 feet).

The airport was given the name of “Captain Horacio Vasquez”, honoring a pilot who died in an accident flying from Argentina to La Paz.

Since then it has only operated local flights and the landing and departure of students of the Bolivian Air Force.

As of 2019, there are currently no commercial passenger flights since the national carrier Transporte Aéreo Militar ceased operations.
