Expansion of Ogle airport runway completed - chairman - 05-09-2012
A major project to lengthen the runway at Ogle Airport to allow regional flights and bring it to regional standards, and which will allow for the landing of ATR and Dash 8 series class of aircraft has been completed.
The European Union, through a CARICOM facility, and with support of the CARICOM Secretariat in Guyana and the Government of Guyana, had provided funding of 1.5M Euros for the Phase II project of the airport to lengthen it by a further 2,200 feet and widening it by 40 feet.

Today, the airport is set to commission the runway which it says is part of a bigger plan to improve that facility to make it a regional flight hub.

Given the number of flights at CJ airport, they should save that money.
Guyana does not need two airports near to each other. This money would have been better used to build one in Berbice.
