Benito Salas Airport (IATA: NVA, ICAO: SKNV) is an airport that serves the city of Neiva, the capital of the Huila Department in Colombia. It was named after Benito Salas Vargas, a military and social leader during Colombia's (then known as New Granada) independence war (1810–1819).
The airport is in a rebuilding process that includes a new control tower and a new building with garages. It was formerly known as "La Manguita airport" because it is placed in an old ranch with that name; even today people call it "La Manguita".
The Neiva VOR-DME (Ident: NVA) is located 6.6 nautical miles (12.2 km) off the Runway 02 threshold.
