Eugene F. Correia International Airport (IATA: OGL, ICAO: SYEC) is located on the Atlantic Ocean coast of Guyana, 6 kilometres (3.7 mi) east of the capital, Georgetown, in the Demerara-Mahaica region.
In 2003, the airport was a local hub shuttling some 50,000 passengers and 1,800 tons of cargo annually.
The lengthened and expanded runway is now in service, and a ceremony to formally open the new airport terminal was held in March 2007.
[3] The airport is capable of handling smaller business jets, regional turboprop airliners, such as the Beechcraft 1900D flown by Trans Guyana Airways[4] as well as the ATR-72-600 operated by Caribbean Airlines.
[6][7] The airline Fly Jamaica Airways formerly maintained its Guyana ticket office in the Wings Aviation hangar at the airport,[9] although Fly Jamaica Airways served Georgetown via Cheddi Jagan International Airport, located south of the city.
