Domestic-only hinterland strip serving the Maikwak Amerindian community in Region 8 (Potaro-Siparuni); reachable solely via Air Services Limited's multi-stop scheduled service (Sun/Mon/Wed/Fri) from Ogle alongside Iwokrama, Kurukabaru, Paramakatoi and other interior communities. Runway dimensions and annual passenger count are not published by GCAA for this aerodrome; figures above are estimates benchmarked against comparable Region 8 strips (e.g. Kurukabaru, a documented 1,000 m dirt runway) and ASL's published flight frequency, respectively — verify operationally before flight planning.

Air Services Limited
Scheduled interior air-taxi carrier serving Maikwak (Sun, Mon, Wed & Fri; check-in 07:00, departure 08:30; per aslgy.com/destinations/maikwak). Maikwak is an unpaved Region 8 (Potaro-Siparuni) village airstrip with no dedicated ground-handling company, terminal operator, or airport website. As the only carrier documented serving the strip, ASL necessarily self-handles its own aircraft loading/unloading and passenger processing there. No formal ground-handling contract, licence, or third-party handler was found — unconfirmed beyond ASL's own schedule listing.
