Ciudad de Catamayo Airport, formerly known as Camilo Ponce Enriquez Airport (IATA: LOH, ICAO: SECA) is an airport serving Loja, the capital of the Loja Province in southern Ecuador. Its name was changed from Camilo Ponce Enriquez Airport (after a former president of the country) to Ciudad de Catamayo Airport on 13 May 2013.[3][4]
The airport is at Catamayo, a city in a mountain valley 18 kilometres (11 mi) west of Loja. There is rising terrain south of the airport, and mountainous terrain in all other quadrants. The Loja non-directional beacon (Ident: LOJ) is located on the field.[5] Several sources still list the airport ICAO code as SETM.
