About Mahdia Airport
Mahdia Airport is the main air gateway to Region 8 (Potaro-Siparuni), serving the town of Mahdia and surrounding mining communities in Guyana's interior. Because the region has no paved road link to Georgetown, air travel is the fastest and most reliable way to reach and leave the area.
The airport is located about 2.5 km from Mahdia town and operates a single runway with a compact terminal. Trans Guyana Airways provides scheduled and charter flights between Mahdia and Eugene F. Correia International Airport (Ogle) in Georgetown, with a flight time of roughly 45–60 minutes.
It plays an important role in supporting gold and diamond mining operations across the Potaro corridor, handling passengers and freight such as food, equipment, fuel and medical supplies for miners and residents.
Road access links the airport to Mahdia town, and taxis or pre-arranged vehicles provide onward travel for arriving passengers. As a small domestic airstrip, facilities are basic but sufficient for the regular flights that connect this interior region with the coast.
