Remote airstrip serving the Uiramutã municipality in Roraima.

Location
Uiramutã, Brazil
Sauparú Airport is a small general aviation airstrip located in or near Uiramutã, a municipality in the far northeastern corner of the state of Roraima, Brazil. The region borders both Venezuela and Guyana and is largely covered by indigenous territories, including the Raposa Serra do Sol indigenous land. The airport primarily serves light aircraft and provides essential air access to this remote area, where road infrastructure is limited and seasonal flooding can make overland travel difficult. It carries the ICAO code SJMU and has no assigned IATA code, reflecting its status as a local, non-commercial facility. Given the area's remoteness and small population, the airstrip plays a logistical role for local communities, government agencies, and occasional humanitarian or medical flights rather than scheduled commercial service.
