Gateway to western French Guiana on the Maroni River.

Location

Saint-Laurent-du-Maroni, French Guiana

Saint-Laurent-du-Maroni Airport (LDX/SOOM) is a small regional aerodrome serving Saint-Laurent-du-Maroni, the second-largest city in French Guiana, located on the border with Suriname along the Maroni River. The airport handles domestic and regional traffic, connecting the city to Cayenne and other points within French Guiana. As an overseas territory of France, French Guiana falls under French and European aviation regulations, and the airport serves an important logistical role for a region with limited road connectivity. The facility is modest in size, catering primarily to small turboprop and light aircraft operations.

The airport has a single small terminal building suited to low-volume regional passenger traffic.
