Orinduik Airport (ORJ)

Orinduik Airport (ORJ) is a small domestic aviation facility located in the Potaro-Siparuni region of Guyana, situated directly on the border with Brazil. The airport features a simple, single-story passenger terminal designed to handle domestic transit for the local diamond-mining community and visitors to the nearby Orinduik Falls. It serves as a vital transportation link, connecting this remote part of the Guyanese interior to the national capital. Facilities within the terminal are basic and focused on essential operations, providing a modest seating area for passengers and limited check-in counters. There are no commercial dining, retail, or duty-free services available on-site, and travelers are strongly advised to bring their own food and water. While the terminal includes ramps and accessible restrooms for passengers with reduced mobility, standard airport amenities found at larger hubs are not present. The airfield features a single 2,625-foot (800m) gravel runway (05/23) and is primarily served by regional carriers like Trans Guyana Airways, which connect the settlement to Eugene F. Correia International Airport in Georgetown. Due to its remote location and proximity to the Ireng River, flight operations are subject to local weather conditions. Ground transportation is informal, with most travel to the falls and surrounding areas being conducted on foot or via pre-arranged local assistance.
