The Maria Reiche Neuman Airport (IATA: NZC, ICAO: SPZA) is a small airport serving Nazca, in the Ica Region of Peru. The airport is named after Maria Reiche, a principle researcher and proponent of the Nazca Lines.

The airport receives a small number of domestic charter flights. The main use of the airport is for tourist flights over the Nazca Lines.

Accidents and incidents

  • On 10 June 2010, an AeroDiana Cessna 208 on a sightseeing flight over the Nazca Lines went missing. Authorities suspect that it was hijacked, as a number of occupants had false identities. The pilot and co-pilot later were found alive, but there has been no sign of the aircraft and remaining passengers since.
