Remote airstrip serving the Rupununi savannah region of Guyana.

Location
Annai, Guyana
Annai Airport is a small domestic airstrip located in the North Rupununi region of Guyana, serving the village of Annai in Region 9 (Upper Takutu-Upper Essequibo). It provides essential air access to this remote interior community, which is otherwise reachable only by long overland journeys along the Lethem-Georgetown trail. The airport primarily supports light aircraft operations connecting Annai with Georgetown and other interior settlements. It plays a vital role in facilitating access for residents, tourists visiting the Rupununi savannahs, and supply transport to the surrounding indigenous communities. The facility is basic in infrastructure, reflecting the small population and remote character of the area it serves. Ecotourism to nearby lodges such as Rock View Lodge has been a driver of occasional air traffic to the strip.
Getting to & from
Ground transport from the airstrip relies on private vehicles or arranged transfers, as no formal public transport system serves the Annai area.
