Remote general aviation airstrip serving Brazil's northern border region.

Location
Pacaraima, Brazil
Maloquinha Airport (ICAO: SJLN) is a small general aviation airstrip located near Pacaraima, a municipality in the state of Roraima in northern Brazil. The area sits on Brazil's border with Venezuela, in a region characterized by remote terrain and indigenous communities. The airport primarily serves light aircraft operations supporting local access needs in an area with limited road infrastructure. It is not served by scheduled commercial airline service and lacks an IATA code, reflecting its status as a minor private or regional airfield. Paracaraima itself is a border town on the BR-174 highway, connecting Brazil to Santa Elena de Uairén in Venezuela, and aviation infrastructure in the region plays a supporting role in accessibility for remote communities.

Traveller Tips
  • Carry Brazilian reais as card payment infrastructure is limited in this border region.

  • Check flight schedules carefully as services are infrequent and subject to change.
  • The altitude and equatorial climate mean temperatures can be warm; carry water and sun protection.
