About Lethem Airport
Lethem Airport (LTM) is the main regional airport serving Lethem, the administrative centre of the Upper Takutu–Upper Essequibo region in southwestern Guyana. Located close to the town centre and the Takutu River Bridge, it links Guyana's populated coastal area with the remote Rupununi savannahs and provides a practical entry point near the Brazilian border.
The airport primarily handles domestic flights to Georgetown, with scheduled services operated by regional carriers using small turboprop aircraft. Its single paved runway and compact passenger terminal support regular travel for residents, business visitors, and tourists heading to Rupununi eco-lodges and nearby communities.
A paved runway and modest terminal facilities serve the airport, and recent infrastructure work has focused on improving regional connectivity. Road travel to Georgetown via the Linden–Lethem trail is slow and seasonal, so the short scheduled flight remains the most reliable year-round option for reaching the interior.
From the terminal, local taxis connect to Lethem town and to the border crossing at Bonfim, with onward transport available toward Boa Vista in Brazil. Passengers should check in early, pack light for regional aircraft, and carry cash for local services.
