Remote airstrip serving the deep interior of Guyana.

Location
Aishalton, Guyana
Aishalton Airport is a small, rural airstrip located in the village of Aishalton in the Upper Takutu-Upper Essequibo region of southern Guyana. It serves as a vital link for the remote Amerindian community, providing access to basic goods, medical services, and personnel that would otherwise require extensive overland travel through difficult terrain. The airport is a simple facility with a grass or unpaved strip, lacking the infrastructure of commercial airports. It is operated primarily for light aircraft serving the needs of the local population and government or humanitarian missions. Aishalton sits in the Rupununi savanna region near the border with Brazil, making air access particularly important given the lack of reliable road connections to the Guyanese coast and capital Georgetown.
Getting to & from
Ground transport from the airstrip is limited to local village tracks and unpaved roads within the Rupununi region.
Airlines here
Trans Guyana Airways and similar small regional operators provide irregular charter and scheduled light-aircraft services to Aishalton.
