About Paramakatoi Airport
Paramakatoi Airport is a small domestic airfield serving Paramakatoi, the main settlement of the North Pakaraima Mountains in Guyana's Potaro-Siparuni region. It provides an essential air link for residents and visitors traveling to and from the capital region, since the village has no direct road connection to the coast.
The airstrip has a single runway, oriented roughly east-west and now approximately 2,500 feet long and 50 feet wide. A major upgrade completed in early 2026 replaced the earlier laterite and grass surface with paved concrete, allowing more reliable fixed-wing aircraft operations throughout the year.
Flights connect the village with Ogle Airport near Georgetown, with scheduled and charter services operated by domestic carriers such as Trans Guyana Airways and Air Services Limited. Journey times are typically around one to two hours, making air travel the principal way to reach Paramakatoi from the capital.
Within the village, the airport sits close to the settlement centre, so onward travel to guesthouses and local communities is usually short. Facilities are basic but functional, suited to a remote hinterland airstrip rather than a large commercial airport.
