Operating hoursDaylight VFR operations only; uncontrolled airstrip with no ATC tower and no fixed curfew (none is needed since no scheduled night service exists). Solar-powered runway edge lighting was installed during the 2026 rebuild to support occasional after-dark medevac flights, but routine service remains daytime-only and movements are arranged directly with the operating carrier / GCAA rather than through any on-site ATC or handling office.
TerminalsNo terminal building; an open-sided passenger shelter/shed serves the strip, typical of Guyana's hinterland airstrips.

Airport contact
Serves the Patamona Amerindian village of Paramakatoi (Region Eight / Potaro-Siparuni) via Air Services Limited's scheduled Ogle-Paramakatoi flights (up to four times weekly, small fixed-wing aircraft shared with neighbouring interior strips); also used for cargo and medical evacuations. The former 610 m grass/laterite runway was fully rebuilt in reinforced concrete and commissioned 6 January 2026 (GY$800 million project), on the same 08/26 alignment. GCAA does not publish airport-specific passenger counts for hinterland strips; the pax figure above is an estimate derived from published flight frequency and aircraft capacity, not an official statistic.
