HISTORY

Heliport Paramaribo (Heliport) located at the Gummelsweg, north of Paramaribo was built in 2015, is the first dedicated heliport in Suriname with its core business on facilitating helicopter companies for primarily offshore activities in the Oil & Gas Industry. On an annual basis, approximately 790 flights are carried out from Heliport, including training, evacuation, search and rescue, medical and passenger.

2013
Construction Heliport Platform

In 2013, Tullow Oil plc initiated drilling activities and approached GUM AIR to provide air transportation services to their designated location. Given our strategic location at Gummelsweg, with close proximity to the Hospital and Coast, it presented an ideal opportunity for us to invest in a platform and hangar. Although the drilling campaign was eventually canceled, we had already made significant progress and obtained the necessary operating and technical permits. As a result, we decided to proceed with the construction of the platform.

2015
Construction Hangar 1

In response to the growing demand for operations at our location, we made the strategic decision to construct a second hangar in 2017. Despite the challenging timeline, we efficiently completed the construction, and to our delight, an oilfield service company became our new tenant, promptly occupying the newly built facility.

2017
Construction Hangar 2

In response to the growing demand for operations at our location, we made the strategic decision to construct a second hangar in 2017. Despite the challenging timeline, we efficiently completed the construction, and to our delight, an oilfield service company became our new tenant, promptly occupying the newly built facility.

2018
The Story of an Airport

In order to ensure the utmost safety in flight operations, the operating helicopter company made a specific request for a paved take-off area measuring 3000 ft. in length and 18 M in width, albeit without lighting. With the increasing number of flights, reaching a peak of 19 in a single day with 5 helicopters, we faced limitations on the existing apron space. It was during this period that the idea of developing an airport took root. Despite lacking any guaranteed contracts for future airport business, we took a proactive approach

NEW ERA
2021
Construction Runway

We commenced the construction of a runway, measuring 1199 M in length and 23 M in width, making us an ICAO CAT 2B Airport.

2022
Two New Hangars

As we continue to evolve and expand our operations, the addition of two new hangars serves as an integral part of our strategic plan to transition into an airport, offering state-of-the-art facilities to support a wide range of aircraft operations.
By investing in the construction of these new hangars, we are paving the way for enhanced capabilities and increased capacity. Our goal is to create a seamless transition from our current operations to a fully functional airport that caters to the diverse needs of our clients.

2023

2023 marks a significant milestone in our airport development journey as we embark on the construction of our passenger terminal. This state-of-the-art facility is designed to cater to the growing needs of travelers, providing a seamless and comfortable experience for all who pass through our doors.

CONSTRUCTION HELIPORT PLATFORM

Due to our location at Gummelsweg with a short distance to the Hospital and Coast, it was ideal to invest in a platform and hangar. After agreement, the drilling campaign was cancelled. But the plan was already made and already had an operating and technical permit, so we started with the construction of the platform.

TWO NEW HANGARS

We are expanding our operations by adding two new hangars, which are essential for our strategic plan to transform into an airport.
