Kaieteur Airport guide

Kaieteur Airport is a small airstrip in the Potaro-Siparuni region of central Guyana. It serves Kaieteur National Park and sits less than 1 km west of Kaieteur Falls, at an elevation of about 460 m (1,520 ft) above sea level. The park was created in 1929 and is the main reason the airstrip exists.

No road reaches the site. Visitors arrive by chartered light aircraft from Georgetown, or make a multi-day overland journey by river and trail. Flights are scheduled around weather and typically fly from Cheddi Jagan International Airport or Ogle Airport on the Georgetown coast, with tour operators bundling the flight with a stop at the falls.

The airport is operated by the Guyana Civil Aviation Authority. It has a single asphalt runway, 07/25, measuring 615 m (2,018 ft). There is no published passenger or movement data. Its ICAO code is SYKA.
