Location
Eirunepé, Brazil
Eirunepé Airport (IATA: ERN, ICAO: SWEI) is a small regional airport located in the municipality of Eirunepé, in the western part of Amazonas state, Brazil. It serves as a vital air link for the isolated community situated along the Juruá River, where road access is extremely limited and river transport remains the primary alternative.

It is operated under the administration of Brazil's national airport authority and plays a critical role in ensuring access to medical services, commerce, and government functions for the surrounding population. Given the remote location and lack of road infrastructure, air travel is essentially indispensable for residents and officials moving between Eirunepé and the broader national network.
