Moengo Airstrip (MOJ)
Moengo Airstrip is a regional airstrip serving Moengo in eastern Suriname, at approximately 5.617000° N and 54.400000° W. The supplied airport record identifies the facility as Moengo Airstrip, with ICAO code MEMO and a local time zone of UTC−03:00. From an international freight-forwarding perspective, it should be treated as a local or regional access point rather than assumed to be a scheduled international cargo gateway. The platform’s service team can assess whether an aircraft movement, charter arrangement, or onward trucking plan is operationally feasible after confirming aircraft performance, runway conditions, handling arrangements, permissions, and customs requirements. Shippers should not assume that cargo terminal, bonded-storage, cold-chain, dangerous-goods, or regular freighter services are available at the airstrip without written confirmation.

Key Highlights
- Moengo Airstrip is best evaluated as a local or regional air-access point, not as a confirmed international cargo terminal.
- No scheduled cargo capacity, cargo-terminal equipment, warehouse capacity, or regular carrier coverage should be presumed from the airport record alone.
- International consignments will generally require a separately validated gateway, aircraft movement, or multimodal connection before final delivery to Moengo.
- Aircraft type, payload, weather, runway condition, fuel planning, operating permissions, and daylight or handling restrictions may materially affect feasibility.
- Our service team recommends a feasibility check before quoting a firm routing, transit time, or pickup commitment.
Cargo Facilities & Services
Operational facilities at a small regional airstrip must be confirmed case by case. The following services should not be treated as automatically available at Moengo Airstrip:
Aircraft and ramp handling
Confirm aircraft acceptance, parking, loading method, apron access, ground equipment, operating hours, and the responsible local handling party before booking.
Cargo acceptance
Pre-alert requirements, weighing, security screening, build-up, pallet or ULD handling, and acceptance cut-off times require written confirmation for each movement.
Storage and warehouse control
Do not assume bonded, customs-controlled, temperature-controlled, or general cargo storage. Arrange a planned transfer to an approved facility where required.
Special cargo capability
Dangerous goods, live animals, pharmaceuticals, perishables, valuables, and oversized cargo need advance capability screening and an agreed handling procedure.
Routes & Transit Times
- There is no basis in the supplied record to confirm scheduled international cargo routes, fixed frequencies, or a resident cargo carrier at Moengo Airstrip.
- For international shipments, our team may evaluate routing through a suitable Suriname gateway or another approved regional gateway, followed by an air, road, or charter connection, subject to carrier and authority confirmation.
- Transit time depends on flight availability, aircraft payload, customs formalities, road access, weather, cargo readiness, handling resources, and any required transshipment.
- Routing must be quoted only after confirming the actual place of customs clearance, airport-to-airport responsibility, final-mile delivery point, and handover arrangements.
Any displayed transit estimate should be treated as indicative until the operating carrier, local handler, and customs process have confirmed the shipment plan.
Hinterland & Key Cargo
- The primary service area is Moengo and nearby communities in eastern Suriname; the practical catchment area depends on road conditions and the final delivery address.
- Potential shipments may include general commercial supplies, project materials, spare parts, consumer goods, relief supplies, and other time-sensitive consignments requiring local access.
- Perishables, pharmaceuticals, live animals, dangerous goods, and high-value cargo require a separately confirmed chain of custody and handling capability.
- Heavy, long, or dense cargo may be constrained by aircraft payload, loading equipment, runway conditions, and local delivery resources; dimensions and gross weight must be supplied at quotation stage.
Operations & Compliance
- Submit commercial invoice, packing list, shipper and consignee details, HS classification, cargo dimensions, gross weight, and customs instructions before requesting a firm movement plan.
- Dangerous goods require correct classification, packing, marking, labelling, shipper’s declaration where applicable, and prior acceptance by the actual operating carrier. Do not tender undeclared hazardous material.
- Temperature-sensitive cargo should move only after confirming a continuous temperature-control process, power availability, storage location, monitoring method, and contingency procedure.
- Confirm export, import, transit, and local customs responsibilities in advance. Customs inspection, release, and final-mile collection may occur away from the airstrip.
- Cut-off times, security screening, handover windows, ground access, and consignee pickup arrangements are operational variables and must be confirmed for the specific shipment.
Shipping Tips
- Send the full cargo profile early: commodity, pieces, dimensions, gross and chargeable weight, value, packing method, stackability, and any special handling requirement.
- Request a written feasibility check covering aircraft type, payload, landing permission, ramp handling, customs location, local delivery, and contingency routing before production dispatch.
- Use robust export packaging suitable for manual handling and possible transshipment; label every piece with the master reference, consignee, weight, and handling marks.
- For urgent or remote deliveries, ask our service team to compare direct charter, regional gateway plus road feeder, and a gateway-based warehouse solution rather than relying on a single airstrip movement.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can Moengo Airstrip receive international air cargo directly?
Direct international cargo acceptance must be confirmed for the specific aircraft, operator, permissions, handling plan, and customs arrangement. Our team will not assume direct cargo capability from the airport code alone.
Are scheduled freighter services available?
The supplied airport data does not establish a scheduled freighter service. We can check current carrier, charter, and regional feeder options after receiving the cargo details and required delivery date.
Can temperature-controlled or pharmaceutical cargo be routed through the airstrip?
Only after confirming qualified handling, storage, power, monitoring, transfer time, and contingency arrangements. If those controls cannot be documented, a gateway-based temperature-controlled solution is safer.
Where will customs clearance take place?
The clearance point depends on the approved routing and local authorities. It may not be at the airstrip, so the importer, broker, and forwarder must agree the customs process before dispatch.
What information is needed for a quotation?
Provide origin, destination, commodity, pieces, dimensions, gross weight, value, ready date, Incoterm, special-cargo status, and final delivery address. Our service team will then validate the routing and operational constraints.
