About Pedernales Airport
Pedernales Airport serves the small village of Pedernales in the Delta Amacuro state of Venezuela, on one of the many islands of the Orinoco Delta. It is a compact public airfield that provides an essential air link for a community with no paved road connection to the mainland.
The airport has a single asphalt runway and a small terminal area, and it mainly supports domestic flights, charter aircraft and general aviation. Because road access to Pedernales is not available, the airfield and local boat services are the principal ways for residents and visitors to reach the area.
Located about 3 km northeast of the village centre, the airport is close to the Caño Manamo estuary. Onward travel from the airfield is typically arranged by boat or pre-booked vehicle, with limited local ground transport in the surrounding delta region.
Facilities at the airport are basic, and the nearest larger airport with regular domestic connections is José Tadeo Monagas International Airport in Maturín, roughly 100 km away. Travelers to Pedernales should plan arrivals, boat transfers and supplies in advance due to the remote setting.
