Uyuni Airport, also recognized as Joya Andina Airport, stands as a remarkable aviation facility nestled in the high-altitude region just northwest of Uyuni, situated in the southwestern Potosí Department of Bolivia. What makes this airport particularly fascinating is its close proximity to the renowned Salar de Uyuni, the world’s largest salt flat, a natural wonder that beckons travelers from across the globe. The airport officially commenced operations with its inauguration by the Bolivian President Evo Morales on July 11, 2011.
Presently, Uyuni Airport is exclusively served by Boliviana de Aviacion, the country’s flagship carrier, which facilitates regular flight connections between Uyuni and other major Bolivian cities, including La Paz and Cochabamba. The airport boasts a substantial runway, measuring 4,000 meters (approximately 13,000 feet) in length and 45 meters (around 148 feet) in width, making it the second longest runway in Bolivia. This significant infrastructure contributes to the airport’s capability to handle various aircraft, further enhancing the accessibility of this captivating region.
As an entry point to the awe-inspiring Salar de Uyuni, Uyuni Airport plays a pivotal role in connecting travelers to this natural spectacle and the broader Bolivian landscape, offering them a unique and unforgettable experience in one of the world’s most extraordinary destinations.
