San Cristóbal Airport (IATA: SCY, ICAO: SEST) is an airport on the island of San Cristóbal, in the Galápagos Islands of Ecuador. The airport is on the southwestern end of the island, with rising terrain to the northeast. Approaches to both runways are over the ocean.
In June 2019, the Ecuadorian government gave permission for the US military to use the airfield as a base, leading to widespread outcry.[2]
