Remote airstrip serving indigenous communities in Roraima state.

Location
Auaris, Roraima, Brazil
Auaris Airport (ICAO: SWBV) is a small, remote airstrip located in the Auaris region of Roraima state, Brazil, near the Venezuelan border. It primarily serves the indigenous Yanomami and Ye'kwana communities in this isolated area of the Amazon rainforest. The airstrip is not a commercial airport in the conventional sense and does not have scheduled airline service. It functions mainly as a lifeline for humanitarian missions, medical evacuations, and supply flights to communities that have no road access to the outside world. Despite being listed under Boa Vista as the nearest major city, Auaris itself is a remote community hundreds of kilometers from Boa Vista in the far north of Roraima state, close to the Brazil-Venezuela border.
