Airport contact
A small Akawaio/Amerindian village airstrip in the Upper Mazaruni area of Cuyuni-Mazaruni (Region 7); Air Services Limited launched a scheduled twice-weekly Ogle-Kamarang circuit in Nov 2019 stopping at Phillipai alongside Imbaimadai, Chi Chi East/West, Paruima, Kaikan and Ekereku Bottom, though some third-party databases still tag the field as closed/abandoned and current (2026) schedule, published runway dimensions, and passenger statistics could not be independently confirmed.

Air Services Limited
Self-handled by Air Services Limited (ASL), operator of the only scheduled service into Phillipai — Ogle-Kamarang interior circuit, Tue/Thu/Sun, check-in 08:00, departure 10:00; confirmed via ASL's own Phillipai destination page (aslgy.com/destinations/phillipai). Phillipai is an unstaffed interior airstrip with no independent ground handler and no fuel on site, so ASL's own crew handling turnarounds is a reasonable operational inference rather than a claim stated on the page itself. · Tue, Thu, Sun — flight-day only
