🏢 Terminal Guide & Navigation
Paramakatoi Airport (PMT) is a critical hinterland aviation hub serving the indigenous community of Paramakatoi in the Potaro-Siparuni region (Region 8) of Guyana. Following a major $800 million (GYD) infrastructure transformation completed in January 2026, the airport features a brand-new 2,500-foot rigid paved concrete runway and a modernized 100x100 foot concrete tarmac. It acts as a vital infrastructure link, connecting the remote North Pakaraimas region to the national capital hub at Ogle Eugene F. Correia International Airport (OGL) in Georgetown.
The terminal infrastructure consists of basic structures designed for essential passenger processing and cargo handling, reflecting its status as a remote mountain airstrip. While the facility lacks traditional commercial amenities such as retail shops, full-service restaurants, or passenger lounges, the recent upgrades include new concrete access roads that link the airstrip directly to the village residential areas. Travelers are strongly advised to be completely self-sufficient and to handle all logistical needs, including food and water, within the Paramakatoi village prior to arrival.
Operationally, the transition from a laterite dirt strip to a high-strength concrete surface allows the airport to function reliably during heavy tropical rainfall and provides the critical capability for 24-hour emergency medical evacuations (medevacs). The airport is primarily served by Trans Guyana Airways and Air Services Limited (ASL), providing essential air links for mail, medicine, and educational supplies. Ground transportation is informal, with walking being the primary mode of travel within the village, while limited ATV rentals can be coordinated for journeys to neighboring settlements like Kato.

💡 Connection Tips
Trans Guyana Airways and Air Services Limited provide essential service to Ogle Eugene F. Tropical rainforest climate with heavy rainfall year-round requiring flexible schedules as the new 2,500-foot concrete runway enables operations during wet season when previous dirt strip was unusable. Banking services unavailable requiring Guyanese dollars cash, as no commercial infrastructure exists in this remote hinterland community depending on subsistence activities. Emergency services enhanced by new concrete runway enabling year-round medical evacuation access regardless of seasonal weather affecting previous dirt strip operations. Advance arrangements essential through indigenous community leadership and government agencies managing access to traditional Amerindian territories in Guyana's interior.
Correia International Airport (Georgetown) from this recently upgraded hinterland facility serving indigenous Amerindian communities in the North Pakaraimas. The $800 million infrastructure upgrade completed January 2026 provides 24-hour emergency medical evacuation capability essential for this isolated indigenous community. Village protocols essential when visiting indigenous communities where traditional land rights, cultural practices, and Amerindian governance systems must be respected. Cultural sensitivity paramount when visiting traditional Amerindian communities where customary practices, traditional knowledge, and indigenous governance continue.
Ground transport includes village walking paths and limited ATV access to neighboring settlements like Kato, as no commercial vehicles or roads serve this remote mountain location. English and indigenous Amerindian languages used throughout the community, with traditional governance systems and cultural practices maintained alongside modern aviation connectivity. Health considerations include tropical disease prevention and medical evacuation planning as healthcare extremely limited requiring air transport to Georgetown for serious conditions. Consider seasonal weather patterns including heavy rainfall that previously isolated the community but now manageable with improved aviation infrastructure.
