About Lumid Pau Airport
Lumid Pau Airport is a small rural airstrip serving the village of Lumid Pau, also known as Karaudarnau, a Wapishana Amerindian community in the Upper Takutu-Upper Essequibo Region of southern Guyana. The airport carries the IATA code LUB and ICAO code SYLP, and sits in the Rupununi savannah near the Rupununi River.
The facility has a single grass runway aligned approximately 12/30, with a reported length of about one kilometre, and an elevation of roughly 168 metres. It mainly supports light aircraft and charter flights linking remote communities in the southern interior.
The nearest settlement with an airstrip is Aishalton, around 24 km away, while the capital Georgetown lies about 510 km to the north. The airport therefore helps connect an isolated region where road travel can be difficult.
Passenger facilities are basic and aimed at small aircraft operations, so travellers should plan ground transport in advance. Its role is primarily regional rather than international.
