About Skeldon Airport
Skeldon Airport is a small aerodrome serving the town of Skeldon and the wider East Berbice-Corentyne region in eastern Guyana. It sits close to the Corentyne River, which forms the border with Suriname, giving the airport a useful role for local and cross-border general aviation traffic.
The airport operates a single runway and a small passenger terminal, and mainly handles charter, private and light aircraft flights rather than large-scale scheduled commercial services. Its compact layout keeps arrivals, departures and ground transport within a short walking distance.
Skeldon town is only a few kilometres away, while the capital Georgetown lies roughly 175 km to the northwest and is typically reached in around three hours by road. The nearby Corentyne River crossing provides a route toward Nieuw Nickerie and other destinations in Suriname.
On-site facilities are basic, so travelers are advised to confirm flight arrangements and book onward transport in advance. Taxis, private transfers and pre-arranged vehicles are the main ways to continue from the airport into Skeldon, Georgetown and surrounding areas.
