by air, but travel to Guyana is

also possible by a ferry crossing via

Suriname/Guyana border and the

Takutu Bridge in the Rupununi area.

All visitors require a valid passport.

Guyana’s international airport (Cheddi

Jagan International Airport - CJIA)

is located 25 miles/40 km south of

Georgetown. Flights from Europe are

routed through St. Lucia, Barbdos, or

Trinidad & Tobago. There are direct

flights from New York, Suriname,

Trinidad & Tobago, Barbados and

Brazil. Flights from Miami and Canada

are either direct or through Trinidad &

Tobago, Panama or Curacao. Outward

flights should be reconfirmed prior to

departure.

The suburban Eugene F. Correia

International Airport (EFCIA)

provides direct flights to Barbados,

Suriname and the Hinterland.

A listing of the various airlines, access

points, and necessary documents

is provided below according to the

mode of transportation.

Official language is English, often

spoken with a creole flavour. Guyana

is also the only English speaking

Venezuelans and Brazilians in Guyana.
