The Complete List of Airports in Guyana

Guyana’s mix of coastal plains, dense rainforest and river networks means many communities rely on air links more than roads. Small bush strips sit alongside regional hubs, serving everything from scheduled services to charter flights and cargo for mining and forestry.

There are 41 Airports in Guyana, ranging from Aishalton to Wichabai (Aishalton,Wichabai). For each entry you’ll find below Codes (IATA/ICAO),Town/Region,Runway length (m), so you can quickly check location, identifiers and runway capability — you’ll find below.

How up-to-date is this list and where does the information come from?

The list compiles official identifiers and runway data from civil aviation publications, national AIPs and recognized airport directories; frequencies and services can change, so treat the table as a starting point and verify critical details (NOTAMs, airline schedules or the Guyana Civil Aviation Authority) before travel.

How can I tell which airports handle scheduled passenger flights or larger aircraft?

Look for an IATA code and longer runways in the “Codes (IATA/ICAO),Town/Region,Runway length (m)” column: airports with IATA codes and runways over ~1,500 m typically support larger regional or jet services, while shorter strips usually serve turboprops, charters and bush operations; check airline timetables or carrier websites for confirmed scheduled service.
