About Saül Airport
Saül Airport is a small airstrip serving Saül, a remote commune in the interior of French Guiana. The village sits in the Amazon rainforest and has no road connection to the rest of the territory, making the airport the main access point for residents and visitors.
Scheduled flights link Saül with Félix Éboué Airport in Cayenne, with a flight time of roughly 35 to 50 minutes depending on the routing. The airstrip has a single gravel runway and a compact passenger building handling arrivals and departures for the limited regional services.
Located about 1 km southeast of the village center, the airport is a short shuttle ride or walk from Saül's accommodations, guesthouses and trailheads. Its location gives travelers direct access to the forest, hiking routes and nature tourism in the center of French Guiana.
Facilities at the airstrip are basic, with a small waiting area, toilets and baggage handling. Because services are limited, travelers should confirm flight schedules and onward transport before arriving.
