Airport Overview

Vincent Fayks Airport（OEM）is a remote regional airport serving Paloemeu in the interior of Suriname. The supplied airport record places it at approximately 3.3453°N, 55.4425°W, in the UTC−03:00 time zone. Its logistics role is best understood as local and regional air access rather than an international cargo gateway: freight normally depends on aircraft availability, local handling arrangements and onward coordination through a larger Surinamese gateway. The airport record identifies no dedicated air-cargo or express operation. Our service team therefore treats each shipment as a pre-arranged uplift, subject to aircraft type, payload, weather, runway conditions, operating permissions and acceptance by the local operator. International shipments should be planned around a confirmed gateway connection instead of assuming direct export or import processing at Vincent Fayks Airport.

Key Highlights

Remote-airport profileSuitable for planned regional uplift, not a default international consolidation point.

Capacity-sensitive movementAircraft payload, baggage load, weather and operating conditions can materially affect cargo acceptance.

Pre-arranged handlingBooking, ground handling and consignee collection should be confirmed before cargo is dispatched.

Gateway dependencyInternational freight will generally require coordination through a separately confirmed Surinamese or regional gateway.

Cargo Facilities & Services

The available airport record does not establish the presence of a dedicated cargo terminal, bonded warehouse, cold room, dangerous-goods store or express sorting centre at Vincent Fayks Airport. Our service team will verify the following items with the operating party before accepting a shipment:

Whether cargo can be accepted, weighed, secured and transferred directly to the aircraft or local handling point.
Whether any customs, agricultural or other government inspection can be completed locally, or must be performed at the international gateway.
Whether temperature-controlled, perishable, valuable or fragile cargo can receive protected storage; shippers should not assume refrigeration or power-backed facilities.
Whether dangerous goods, lithium batteries, live animals, oversized pieces or loose cargo are accepted under the specific aircraft operator’s procedures.
Whether consignee collection requires advance notice, local transport coordination, identification and a separately arranged delivery vehicle.

Routes & Transit Times

There is no basis in the supplied record for promising a scheduled international freighter, fixed airline service or guaranteed frequency at Vincent Fayks Airport.
Typical planning is a two-stage movement: international air transport to a confirmed gateway, followed by a separately arranged domestic or regional sector to Paloemeu, subject to operator acceptance.
Our service team confirms the actual carrier, routing, cut-off, aircraft type and transfer point case by case; a booking request alone does not confirm uplift.
Transit is commonly affected by weather, payload limits, aircraft availability, daylight or operating restrictions, remote-road access and the timing of the gateway connection. Any quoted schedule remains subject to final operational confirmation.

Hinterland & Key Cargo

The primary service area is Paloemeu and nearby interior communities, where air transport can be important for time-sensitive supplies and access to remote settlements.
Likely shipment profiles include general provisions, small machinery and maintenance parts, communications equipment, project supplies and personal effects, subject to aircraft and operator acceptance.
Medical supplies, laboratory materials and other sensitive goods require prior confirmation of packaging, temperature exposure, security and delivery arrangements; the airport record does not confirm local cold-chain capability.
Bulk, oversized or heavy industrial cargo is generally better assessed through a specialist charter, multimodal plan or an alternative gateway rather than assumed local uplift.

Operations & Compliance

Cut-off: obtain the operator’s confirmed acceptance and physical handover deadline. Remote-sector cut-offs may be earlier than the international flight cut-off.
Documentation: prepare a commercial invoice, packing list, shipper and consignee details, accurate piece dimensions and weights, and any permits required for the commodity or destination.
Regulated cargo: dangerous goods, lithium batteries, pharmaceuticals, perishables, live animals and valuable cargo require advance declaration and written acceptance. Do not tender undeclared restricted cargo.
Customs and collection: verify the competent clearance point, inspection process, consignee identification requirements and local delivery access before dispatch. Customs treatment must be confirmed for the actual import or export route.

Shipping Tips

Send our service team the commodity description, HS code, pieces, gross weight, dimensions, value, battery details and required delivery date before cargo is packed for uplift.
Use compact, moisture-resistant packaging with internal protection and clearly marked piece identification; remote transfers make loose or weakly packed cargo more vulnerable to delay and handling damage.
For temperature-sensitive goods, use validated packaging and a documented exposure limit. Arrange a confirmed handover and collection plan rather than relying on airport storage.
Keep an alternative plan through a confirmed gateway or surface arrangement for cargo that is too heavy, restricted, oversized or unable to meet the local operator’s aircraft limitations.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can Vincent Fayks Airport handle international export cargo directly?

Do not assume direct international export handling. Our service team first verifies the local operator, the applicable customs process and the confirmed gateway. In many cases, the international customs and airline handover will take place at another airport.

Can I book a shipment using only the airport code?

No. The airport code identifies the location, but acceptance depends on the operating carrier, aircraft payload, cargo type, dimensions, documentation and available handling. A confirmed booking and handover instruction are required before dispatch.

Are dangerous goods and lithium batteries accepted?

Acceptance is not automatic. The shipper must provide the correct dangerous-goods classification and packing information, and our service team must obtain prior written approval from the actual operator. Undeclared regulated cargo should not be tendered.

Is cold storage available for pharmaceuticals or fresh products?

The supplied airport data does not confirm cold-chain facilities. Temperature-sensitive shipments should move only after storage, transfer time, packaging and collection conditions have been specifically confirmed.

What is the best alternative when the shipment cannot move through Paloemeu?

Our service team can assess a gateway-based routing, a specialist charter or a multimodal solution. The appropriate alternative depends on cargo characteristics, customs requirements, final destination and the availability of onward transport.

Data Sources & Provenance

Airport identity, codes, name, location, coordinates, address and time zone are based on the supplied airport record for Vincent Fayks Airport. No unverified runway, cargo-terminal, warehouse, airline, frequency, throughput, fee or transit-time figures are presented. Code-format and aviation-industry reference information may be cross-checked through the official IATA domain: iata.org. Operational acceptance, customs routing, handling availability and schedules must be confirmed with the actual carrier, airport operator and competent authorities before shipment tender.

This page is intended for freight-planning guidance. Final routing, regulatory treatment and acceptance remain subject to the shipment’s commodity, documents, aircraft operator and conditions prevailing on the date of movement.
