Reales Tamarindos Airport (Spanish: Aeropuerto Reales Tamarindos) (IATA: PVO, ICAO: SEPV) is a closed airport formerly serving Portoviejo, the capital of Manabí Province in Ecuador.
The nearest major airport to Portoviejo is Eloy Alfaro International Airport in Manta, 26 kilometres (16 mi) to the west.
Following the April 2016 earthquake, a tent settlement was set up on the closed runway to provide shelter for displaced households.[3][4]
