About Wageningen Airstrip
Wageningen Airstrip is a small regional airfield serving Wageningen in Suriname's Nickerie District. Located about 8 km north of the town, it functions mainly as a domestic gateway to Paramaribo while also supporting agricultural aviation across the surrounding rice-growing region.
The airfield has a compact passenger building and a single runway, and handles scheduled and charter flights with light aircraft operated by carriers such as Gum Air and Blue Wing Airlines. It is also the home base of Surinam Sky Farmers, reflecting its close connection to cropdusting and the local rice industry.
Road access links the airstrip to Wageningen and the wider Nickerie District, with onward travel normally arranged by taxi or pre-booked private transfer, since scheduled public transport directly to the airfield is limited. Nieuw Nickerie, the district's main town, lies roughly 40 km to the west, and the Bigi Pan Nature Reserve is among the regional attractions reachable from the area.
Facilities are simple and suited to regional travel rather than large passenger volumes. Visitors should plan ahead for transport, cash and supplies, because services in and around the airfield are limited.
