Ground Transportation

Taxis

Official airport taxis are readily available 24/7 outside the arrivals hall. For safety and standardized fares, it is highly recommended to use the authorized taxi dispatch service located in the terminal. Fares to Georgetown are generally fixed, but you should always confirm the price before starting your trip. The journey to the city center typically takes 45-90 minutes.

Rental Cars

Several car rental companies, including international and local agencies, operate at the airport with service desks located in the arrivals area. Options range from economy cars to SUVs. It is advisable to book your vehicle in advance, especially during peak seasons. A valid driver's license and a credit card are required for rental.

Public Transportation

Public minibuses are the most economical travel option but do not service the airport terminal directly. To access them, you must walk a short distance from the terminal to the main road. This option is best suited for budget travelers with light luggage, as minibuses can be crowded and do not have dedicated luggage space. It is not the most convenient choice for first-time visitors.

Only worry about safety, this has no price
Runway, ils, radar control.
New terminal and bays can wait,

Upgrade Posted by pilotfan21 on October 24, 2011

I agree that they should increase the runway to at least 10,000ft and upgrade the airport with boarding bays and add another terminal so more airlines will have accommodations Into Cheddi Jagan which will allow aircrafts like the 747 jumbo jet and the largest aircraft airbus a380, and will have more flights from Pearson International. i also recommend that they install an (Instrument Landing System) on every runway so aircrafts can do ILS landing in foggy conditions and low visibility.

Runway Posted by on March 24, 2011

The government is planning to extend the runway to 10,000ft and build a new terminal but it has not been approved yet. Look it up @GuyanaTimesGy.com

Runway Posted by on January 8, 2011

Increase the runway it's like what ? 5700 it's like one and a half mile thats not big enough

Runway and upgrade the airport with boarding bays Posted by on January 8, 2011

I agree 100% with this person that said increase the length of the runway and they need boarding bays

Runway Posted by on July 3, 2010

Increase the length of the runway to accommodate larger jets. Also upgrade to international standards with boarding bays like all other international airports eg Piarco has those, so passengers don't have to climb down those antique stairs, then walk to the terminal building etc. The planes can just pull up to the bays and passengers get off and walk into the airconditioned building and straight to customs and immigration.
