Remote Bolivian airstrip serving the Arampampa highland region.

Location
Gral. Ballivian, Bolivia
Arampampa Airport is a small, remote airstrip located in the Gral. Ballivian area of Bolivia, serving the isolated highland community of Arampampa. The facility operates under the ICAO code SLAM and has no assigned IATA code, reflecting its status as a minor regional airport with limited commercial activity. The airport primarily supports light general aviation, charter flights, and occasional humanitarian or government operations connecting this rugged Andean region to larger Bolivian cities. Given its remote location and the challenging terrain of the surrounding area, the airstrip plays an important role in providing access to communities that would otherwise be difficult to reach by road. Infrastructure at the airport is basic, consistent with many rural Bolivian airstrips operated under the oversight of Bolivia's civil aviation authority, AASANA (Administración de Aeropuertos y Servicios Auxiliares a la Navegación Aérea).
