Johan Adolf Pengel International Airport PBM / SMJP

Certified aviation ground-handling company based in Suriname since 1993, describing itself on its own site as operating "at the Johan Adolf Pengel International Airport" (PBM/SMJP); ramp, passenger and baggage handling for scheduled and charter carriers, per company website (transportlimited.com). Company's registered address is at Zorg & Hoop, but its own service list is explicitly PBM-specific; claim of PBM-exclusivity in the earlier draft is not stated on the site and has been removed.

Ground-handling subsidiary within the Surinam Airways (SLM) group (email domain flyslm.com; SGS was reorganised alongside SurAir Cargo Services and Surair Catering Services under SLM's holding structure). Its own LinkedIn profile describes it as "the leading aviation Groundhandling company in Suriname," support consisting of "Paxhandling, GSE, loadcontroll and operation assistant," with SLM, Martinair, Caribbean Airlines and KLM/Air France as clients. Listed as FBO/Handler in the FlightBridge airport directory for SMJP/PBM at Cargolaan 1, Zanderij, with contact details (email, phone) matching this record exactly.

"Fueling/aircraft refueling" is listed directly among Transport Limited's own core ground-handling services at PBM (transportlimited.com), not merely arranged on request. Physical Jet A-1 supply at PBM is confirmed to come from GOw2 Energy Suriname (gow2.com); Transport Limited most plausibly performs the into-plane/ramp fueling role coordinating with that supplier, but the exact operational split between the two companies is unconfirmed.

Confirmed on the company's own Jet A-1 product page (gow2.com/en/fuels/jet-a-1/): "We supply this high quality fuel to international and local airlines calling at the Johan Adolf Pengel International Airport and Zorg en Hoop Airport." Also distributes TotalEnergies lubricants in Suriname and supplies helicopters at the Gum Air Heliport. Page does not state whether GOw2 itself performs into-plane pumping at PBM or supplies bulk fuel for a handler (e.g. Transport Limited) to dispense — that operational split is unconfirmed.

Self-handled, Surinam Airways — the airline maintains an in-house technical/maintenance department at its Zanderij (PBM) hub. Confirmed via news reporting (GFC Nieuws, Suriname Nieuwscentrale) that a SLM Boeing 737-800 (PZ-TCV) was flown to Lima, Peru for a scheduled C-check under CASAS-approved maintenance program, grounding it about two months — consistent with heavier checks being outsourced abroad while line-level work is done on-site at PBM.

Flight-kitchen subsidiary of the Surinam Airways (SLM) group, described on flyslm.com as playing "a vital role in the full service concept" for the airline out of Paramaribo; was reorganised under SLM's holding structure alongside SurAir Cargo Services and SGS. Company material cites regional industry awards for catering quality; exact award name/year and the earlier draft's specific "MSC-certified seafood" claim could not be independently verified and have been softened/removed accordingly. Email corrected/added (•••) from flyslm.com contact listing; phone confirmed.

Cabin cleaning listed among the company's additional/extra services on its PBM service page (transportlimited.com); unconfirmed scope.

As the long-standing full-service ramp handler at PBM, the company necessarily operates its own ground support equipment fleet (tugs, belt loaders, GPU, etc.) for turnarounds; no dedicated third-party GSE company found at PBM, and Transport Limited does not itemise GSE ownership on its site.

Cargo handling listed as a core service on the company's own PBM-specific service list (transportlimited.com); scope/tonnage unconfirmed.

SLM operates an air-freight/cargo function at PBM (marketed as "Surinam Air Cargo" on the airline's own site); note the group also has a distinct "SurAir Cargo Services" entity reported alongside SGS and Surair Catering Services under SLM's holding restructuring, so day-to-day cargo handling may run through that dedicated subsidiary rather than the airline directly — exact corporate split unconfirmed, contact details kept under the parent airline pending clarification.

Security services listed as a core service on the company's own PBM service list (transportlimited.com). Note: national oversight comes separately from the Civil Aviation Safety Authority Suriname (CASAS), which is a regulator, not an operator — exact on-the-ground screening responsibilities split unconfirmed.

Crew and passenger ground transport listed as a service on the company's PBM page (transportlimited.com).

Offers landing and overflight permit arrangements, general aviation/aeropolitics consultancy, and airline legal/general representation at PBM per company website (transportlimited.com) — effectively a local FBO/trip-support and handling-agent flight-ops desk. Site also lists hotel arrangements, catering coordination and air-ambulance ground transport as adjunct services, not separately broken out here.

Premium hotel in central Paramaribo historically referenced in Dutch-language reporting as an airline-crew layover property (e.g. KLM crew). Repeat targeted searches during this fact-check could not independently reproduce that sourcing or find any current standing crew-accommodation contract on the hotel's own site — evidence for an active PBM-crew-hotel relationship is weak/stale. Retained as unconfirmed rather than dropped since Royal Torarica is unambiguously a real, operating hotel in Paramaribo and a plausible crew-hotel candidate, but this line should be treated as low-confidence.
