About Santa Elena de Uairén Airport
Santa Elena de Uairén Airport is the main airport serving Santa Elena de Uairén, a town in Bolívar state in south-eastern Venezuela. It functions as a regional gateway to the Gran Sabana, one of the country's most important nature tourism areas, and to Mount Roraima.
The airport has one passenger terminal and a single asphalt runway. The present terminal was reopened on 29 April 2009, and the airport is officially designated an international facility, although scheduled commercial services have been limited or irregular.
The airport lies about 6 km from the town centre and roughly 12 km from the Brazilian border at Pacaraima. Travelers typically continue by taxi, shared car or pre-arranged transfer; long-distance buses connect the town with Ciudad Bolívar and other parts of Bolívar state.
Facilities are basic, and most visitors use the airport as a starting point for Gran Sabana treks or cross-border travel rather than expecting a full-service terminal.
