Ustupu-Ogobsucum Airport (IATA: OGM) is an airport serving the island town of Ustupo in the Guna Yala comarca (indigenous province) of Panama. It handles domestic flights and general aviation.
The runway bridges two of the several islands comprised by the town. It is 1 kilometre (0.6 mi) northwest of the main populated islands. Approach and departure at either end of the runway will be over the water.
The La Palma VOR (Ident: PML) is located 45.4 nautical miles (84 km) south-southwest of the airport.[3]
The Ustupo Airport is on the mainland, 1 kilometre (0.6 mi) south of Ogobsucum Airport, and is no longer used for airline service.

The airport is served by Air Panama by flights every second day, offering return flights to Panama City. The island often floods during the monsoon season causing flight cancellations.
