Lethem Airport

LTM is Lethem Airport, serving the border town of Lethem in Guyana's Rupununi region, situated near the frontier with Brazil.

The airport provides essential air access to this remote interior area, since Guyana's road infrastructure connecting the Rupununi to the capital Georgetown has historically been limited, especially during the rainy season.
