Ustupu-Ogobsucum Airport (IATA: OGM) is an airport serving the island town of Ustupo, Guna Yala province, Panama. It handles short domestic flights and general aviation. The airport is only served by Air Panama by flights every second day.
The Ustupu-Ogobsucum Airport bridges two of the several islands comprised by the town. It is located off the Panamanian coastline, towards the northern, less populated area of the tourist island, about 1 km far away from town centre. There is a scheduled commuter service, offering return flights to Panama City every second day. The island is rather low-lying, and during the monsoon season, often floods, causing flight cancellations.
