Gateway to Venezuela's Gran Sabana wilderness region.

Location
Santa Elena de Uairén, Venezuela
Santa Elena de Uairén Airport (IATA: SNV, ICAO: SVSE) serves the border town of Santa Elena de Uairén in Bolívar State, southeastern Venezuela, near the border with Brazil. It provides essential air connectivity to a remote region better known for the Canaima National Park, tepuis, and the nearby Gran Sabana plateau. The airport supports domestic flights linking the area to larger Venezuelan cities, serving both local residents and tourists drawn to the region's natural attractions. Its runway and facilities are modest, reflecting the small population and limited commercial demand of the area. Santa Elena de Uairén sits at an elevation of roughly 908 meters (2,979 feet) above sea level, which influences flight operations in and out of the airport.
