Airports at each end
Leaving Jakarta
Jakarta is served by 2 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Halim Perdanakusuma International Airport (HLP), 8 km (5 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 9,843 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft. The alternatives are Soekarno-Hatta International Airport (CGK, 23 km).
Arriving in Georgetown
Georgetown is served by 2 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Cheddi Jagan International Airport (GEO), 36 km (22 mi) from the centre, whose 11,023-ft runway is long enough for long-haul wide-body aircraft. The alternatives are Eugene F. Correia International Airport (OGL, 5 km).
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cheddi Jagan International Airport | GEO | 36 km (22 mi) | 11,023 ft | 95 ft |
| Eugene F. Correia International Airport (regional) | OGL | 5 km (3 mi) | 4,201 ft | 10 ft |
One end has no runway over 10,000 ft, so at 18,357 km (11,406 mi) this pair is unlikely to be flown nonstop by a wide-body; expect a connection.
