Remote airstrip serving the Yanomami territory in Roraima.

Location
Alto Alegre, Brazil
Palimiú Airport is a small, remote airstrip located near the community of Palimiú in the state of Roraima, Brazil, administratively associated with the municipality of Alto Alegre. It serves as a critical access point to the Yanomami Indigenous Territory, one of the largest indigenous reserves in the world. The airport primarily supports mission aviation, humanitarian operations, and government agencies such as FUNAI (Brazil's National Indigenous Peoples Foundation) and SESAI (Special Secretariat for Indigenous Health). Commercial scheduled service is not available at this facility. Due to its location deep in the Amazon rainforest near the Venezuela border, the airstrip is essential for supplying remote indigenous communities and for medical evacuation flights, as road access to the region is essentially nonexistent.
