About Port Kaituma Airport
Port Kaituma Airport is a small domestic airfield serving Port Kaituma, a remote mining and river settlement in the Barima-Waini region of north-western Guyana. It functions as an essential air link between Georgetown and this interior area, which has limited road access and relies heavily on light aircraft for supplies, passengers and mining-related travel.
The airport has a single paved runway and a small passenger terminal. Flights are operated mainly by domestic carriers and charter services from Ogle Airport in Georgetown, including Trans Guyana Airways and other local charter companies. Because the airfield is small, schedules can be limited and weather-dependent.
The airport is situated close to Port Kaituma village, roughly 220 km northwest of Georgetown. From the terminal, travellers use local vehicles, pre-arranged transfers and boats to reach the village centre, nearby mining camps and riverside communities.
Despite its modest facilities, Port Kaituma Airport plays a practical role for miners, residents and visitors travelling into Guyana's north-west interior. Its convenience lies in direct access to a region that is otherwise difficult to reach by road, making flight planning and pre-booked ground transport especially useful.
