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). Actually is in a rebuilding process, that includes a new control tower, and a new building with garages. Former known as "La Maguita airport" because it is placed in an old ranch with that name, even today people call it "La Manguita".
