The oil found here is a valuable natural resource for Peru. It is used for energy and many other products. The presence of these oil fields means that the area around Andoas is important for the country's economy.

The airport helps connect Andoas and nearby communities to other parts of Peru. It is especially important in this remote jungle region where roads are not common. People and goods can travel by air, making it easier to reach and leave the area.
