Lethem Airport
LTM is Lethem Airport, serving the border town of Lethem in Guyana's Rupununi region, situated near the frontier with Brazil. Lethem is a hub for the savanna region's cattle ranching industry and cross-border trade with the Brazilian town of Bonfim just across the Takutu River. 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. LTM primarily handles small aircraft on domestic routes, supporting local commerce, government travel, and occasional tourism to the Rupununi's savannas and wildlife areas, including access points for visiting Kaieteur Falls-adjacent regions.
