About This Airport
Which side of the plane has the best views landing at Cheddi Jagan International Airport (GEO)?
When landing at Cheddi Jagan International Airport (GEO), sit on the Left side for the best views. On the standard runway 06 approach the aircraft flies in from the southwest over jungle and sugarcane country, with the Demerara River running along the west side of the airport — that puts the river on the left. As you continue toward touchdown, Georgetown's coastline and skyline also sit off to the left, roughly north of the field, so the left side gets both the river and the city/coast view. Notable sights include: Demerara River, Georgetown city skyline (distant), Atlantic coastline/mudflats, sugarcane fields and rainforest canopy.
