Georgetown Cheddi Jagan International Airport Terminals and Arrivals

Georgetown Cheddi Jagan International Airport handles its passenger traffic through one main terminal, so arrivals are straightforward to find. Follow the signs from the aircraft into immigration, then to the baggage reclaim hall, and finally to the arrivals exit. Allow some extra time at busy periods, when immigration queues can lengthen.

Once you leave the arrivals hall, you are on the public side of the airport.
