Gunns Airstrip

Not applicable, as the airstrip is not closed. It remains a vital piece of infrastructure for the region's primary industry.

The site is a fully operational, unpaved private airstrip. Its use is restricted and it is not open to the public. Access is managed by the mining companies that operate in the vicinity. The airstrip is essential for the economic viability of mining operations in this isolated part of the country. Satellite imagery confirms a well-defined and maintained runway clear of vegetation.

Gunn's Strip has long been a crucial logistical hub for the gold and diamond mining industries in the remote Potaro-Siparuni region of Guyana. Due to the lack of roads and the dense jungle terrain, the airstrip is the primary means of transporting personnel, fuel, heavy equipment parts, food, and other essential supplies to the numerous mining camps in the area. It exclusively handles private charter flights, typically utilizing robust short takeoff and landing (STOL) aircraft such as the Cessna 208 Caravan and Britten-Norman BN-2 Islander, which are staples of interior aviation in Guyana.

Not applicable, as the airstrip is currently active and has no plans for closure. Its continued operation is directly tied to the activity of the mining concessions it serves.
