Since Rio Azucar, which is located on a very small island, doesn’t have a land that it can assign for an airport, the airport is situated on a forestland connected to the mainland. For this reason, it is possible to reach the airport from the center by using marine vessels. However, Rio Azucar Airport isn’t a busy airport and doesn’t organize regular flights. It may not be possible to find a marine vessel offering frequent service. Passengers can reach the airport with their own means or with the help of the local people.
Rio Azucar is a town completely surrounded by tropical forests and nature is untouched apart from the airport runway extending over the coastline. Its settlement is close to the coastline. For this reason, the distance between the airport and center is short. However, the airport is located at a point which is independent of the town. The airport is rarely used. Therefore, the airport doesn’t even offer standard services such as bank, pharmacy or lost property office.
