Henri Alwies Airstrip (Dutch: Henri Alwies Vliegveld)[2][3] (IATA: SMHA), also known as Henri Alwies Airfield or Henri Alwies Vliegveld, is in the Saramacca district of Suriname. This is one of the newest airports in Suriname, in use since April 5, 2012.

It's the homebase of crop dusting company ERK Farms of the farmers family van Ravenswaay, and is also heavily used by the Gliders Club "Zweefvliegclub Akka."

On March 24, 2013 an Open Day was held at the new Henri Alwies Airfield with multiple planes from Zorg en Hoop Airport[4] together with a demonstration from Skydive Free 2 Fly Suriname jumping parachutes from a privately-owned Britten-Norman BN-2 Islander (N26NB). Surinamese Minister Of Sport & Youth, Ismanto Adna, also participated with a tandem parachute jump. A nice crop dusting demonstration was performed by pilot Martin Veldkamp with a Grumman G-164B Ag-Cat B (PZ-USB) from ERK Farms.[5]
