Flights to Paramaribo
Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Paramaribo is served by one airport with scheduled flights. The closest large one is Johan Adolf Pengel International Airport (PBM), 46 km (29 mi) from the centre, whose 11,417-ft runway is long enough for long-haul wide-body aircraft.
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Johan Adolf Pengel International Airport | PBM | 46 km (29 mi) | 11,417 ft | 59 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 11,417 ft, PBM can take the largest long-haul aircraft, so direct intercontinental flights are physically possible here. The airport sits at 59 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
