Eugene F. Correia International Airport
near Georgetown, Guyana
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 2013, LIAT began scheduled passenger airline flights between the airport and Barbados, thus switching over its former air service into Cheddi Jagan International Airport.
The airport was formerly known as Georgetown-Ogle International Airport and is the second international airport along with the Cheddi Jagan International Airport to serve Georgetown and its vicinity.
History
Efforts to expand the airport were started in 2003; the lengthened and expanded runway is now in service, and a ceremony to formally open the new airport terminal was held in March 2007.
OGL received its port-of-entry certification in 2009. It has a Class 1A, 4,200 feet (1,300 m)-long runway made of concrete (07-25). The former runway 07R-25L is now being used as a taxiway only. It operates under Visual Flight Rules (VFR) and Instrument Flight Rules (IFR). The airport is capable of handling smaller business jets, regional turboprop airliners, such as the Beechcraft 1900D flown by Trans Guyana Airways as well as the ATR-72-600 operated by Caribbean Airlines.
The airport was renamed Eugene Correia Airport in 2016 after Portuguese Guyanese legislator Eugene Correia.
