Starting May 1, cross-border travelers and business operators between Suriname and Guyana have gained a new efficient travel option, following the launch of a direct scheduled charter air connection between the two capital cities Paramaribo and Georgetown by regional aviation service provider MidasSur Aviation Charter Service.
Operating in partnership with Georgetown-based Jags Aviation, the new service runs three round-trip charter flights per week, scheduled every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Per the route layout, outbound flights depart from Guyana’s Eugene F. Correia International Airport (OGL) and arrive directly at Eduard Alexander Gummels Airport (EAX), conveniently located closer to central Paramaribo than the country’s larger international airport.
Project organizers note that the direct connection fills a gap in fast regional travel, especially for business owners and leisure travelers who want quick access to downtown Paramaribo. By cutting out layovers and eliminating the longer overland trip from larger, more distant international airports, the new route substantially reduces total travel time for passengers. Early departure times are also tailored to align with the growing demand for seamless, practical travel between the neighboring South American nations.
Headquartered on Cadmiumstraat in Paramaribo, MidasSur maintains two sales outlets: one on Goudenregenstraat in Zorg en Hoop, Suriname, and a second branch on Jackson Street in Guyana. Jags Aviation, MidasSur’s cooperation partner, is a subsidiary of the BK Group of Companies, led by Executive Chairman Officer Brian Tiwarie, with its base of operations in Georgetown.
