Orinduik Airport (ORJ)

Orinduik Airport is a small domestic airstrip in the Potaro-Siparuni region of Guyana, serving the remote mining community of Orinduik and the nearby Orinduik Falls, one of Guyana's best-known natural attractions. Its single gravel runway supports light aircraft used for domestic passenger, charter and scenic flights.

The airport connects Orinduik mainly with Georgetown, where domestic flights depart from Eugene F. Correia International Airport at Ogle and from Cheddi Jagan International Airport. Flights to Kaieteur Falls often include Orinduik as a stopover, making the airstrip an important access point for visitors exploring the Pakaraima Mountains and the surrounding interior.

Located close to the Brazilian border, Orinduik is far from Guyana's coastal road network, so air travel is the most practical way to reach the area. Flights from Georgetown take roughly an hour, with road connections in the region limited and mostly suitable for short transfers around the airstrip.

Facilities at Orinduik Airport are deliberately simple, with basic shelter and minimal passenger services rather than the shops, lounges and restaurants found at larger airports. Travellers should plan ahead and arrange onward ground transport, since this remote airstrip serves as a practical gateway rather than a full-service terminal.
