Puerto Obaldia Airport (IATA: PUE, ICAO: MPOA) is an airport serving the town of Puerto Obaldia, in Panama.

Between 2008 and 2010, the original, deteriorated SE/NW runway was replaced with a longer, wider concrete runway 17/35.[2][3][4]

The new runway runs uphill from the sea, and mountainous terrain south requires approaches and takeoffs be made over the water.[5]

Runway length is estimated.
