Location

Saint-Georges-de-l'Oyapock, French Guiana

Saint-Georges-de-l'Oyapock Airport (IATA: OYP, ICAO: SOOG) is a small regional airport serving the town of Saint-Georges-de-l'Oyapock, located in eastern French Guiana on the border with Brazil. The airport provides an essential air link for a community that is otherwise accessible primarily by river or limited road connections through the Amazon rainforest. The airport handles light aircraft and small regional turboprop services, primarily connecting Saint-Georges to Cayenne, the capital of French Guiana. Given the remote nature of the region, air transport is a critical lifeline for residents, medical emergencies, and cargo supply.
