Correia (Ogle) airport, alongside charter, medevac and cargo flights for surrounding indigenous and hinterland communities. GCAA does not publish airport-level passenger statistics for this strip.

Trans Guyana Airways
Self-handled, Trans Guyana Airways — TGA operates near-daily scheduled flights between Ogle (Eugene F. Correia Intl) and Mabaruma; third-party airport-terminal listings (globalterminalsinfo.com) independently confirm TGA operates from Terminal 1 at Mabaruma Airport (USI). No independent third-party ground handler is documented at this small single-runway (518m) strip, so TGA's own flight/ops crew perform passenger and ramp turnaround; this self-handling arrangement is inferred from the absence of any named local agent, not confirmed by one.

Roraima Airways
Self-handled, Roraima Airways — Wikipedia independently confirms Roraima added scheduled/charter service to Mabaruma in 2019 (three flights/week) from Ogle. No independent ground handler is documented at Mabaruma, so Roraima's own crew handle turnarounds. Roraima's own site (roraimaairways.com) confirms the phone contact and lists charter service to any Guyana aerodrome but does not break out a Mabaruma-specific ground-ops page; self-handling is inferred from the absence of any third-party handler at this strip, not confirmed by a named local agent.
