Eugene F. Correia International Airport (IATA: OGL, ICAO: SYEC), formerly Ogle Airport, is a medium-sized airport at Ogle on Guyana's East Coast Demerara, roughly 8 km east of Georgetown. It primarily handles domestic flights to Guyana's interior and regional services to the Caribbean, making it a key alternative to Cheddi Jagan International Airport. The airport was renamed in 2015 to honor Guyanese aviator Eugene F. Correia.
💡 Local Tip
Frequent travelers know that OGL's domestic and regional departures can bunch up in the small terminal, so arrive earlier than you would for a similar-sized airport and keep your airline's local contact number handy for schedule changes.
🚖 Getting There
Taxis and pre-arranged hotel transfers are the most reliable way to reach OGL; confirm the fare before leaving and allow 20-40 minutes to or from central Georgetown. Minibuses run along the East Coast Demerara highway, but they may not stop at the terminal entrance, so they are less convenient with luggage. If you are flying to the interior, verify your airline's check-in and baggage cutoff times in advance.
