Small airstrip serving Brazil's northern frontier near Venezuela.

Location
Pacaraima, Brazil
Surumu Airport (ICAO: SWMU) is a small general aviation airstrip located near the town of Pacaraima in the state of Roraima, northern Brazil. Pacaraima sits on the Brazilian-Venezuelan border, making the airstrip strategically situated in a remote frontier region. The airport serves light aircraft operations and supports access to a sparsely populated area characterized by indigenous communities and border region activities. It does not handle scheduled commercial airline service and has no IATA code assigned. Given its remote location in the Amazon region near the Gran Sabana, the airstrip plays a logistical role for regional connectivity where road infrastructure can be limited, particularly during wet seasons.
Getting to & from
Pacaraima is accessible by road via BR-174, which connects to Boa Vista, the state capital of Roraima, approximately 215 km to the south.
