Left something behind at Johan Adolf Pengel Airport ? Whether it went missing in flight, at the terminal or on the long road to Paramaribo, here is how to report a lost item at Paramaribo Airport.
About Johan Adolf Pengel International Airport
Johan Adolf Pengel International Airport (IATA code : PBM) sits in the town of Zanderij, about 45 kilometres south of Paramaribo, the capital of Suriname. It is the main hub of Surinam Airways and is also served by KLM, which flies the long-haul route connecting Paramaribo to Amsterdam Shiphol airport in the Netherlands.
The airport is connected to Paramaribo by bus routes, with the trip taking well over an hour depending on traffic.
Report Before You Leave the Airport
The most important thing to know about Zanderij is how far it is from the city. At 45 kilometres out, with a drive of an hour or more, coming back for a forgotten item is a serious undertaking rather than a quick errand. If you notice something is missing while you are still on the airport grounds, report it there and then, before you set off for Paramaribo. Once you have made the long trip into the city, following up by phone or through our platform becomes the practical option rather than returning in person.
Reporting a Lost Item at Johan Adolf Pengel Airport
At the airport, the lost and found is the place to go so staff can check what has been handed in. Once you have travelled on, open a report by phone or through our platform with a description and roughly where and when you last had the item.

If it never left the cabin, the airline is the one to contact, not the airport. Give them the flight number and seat and the crew can look on the aircraft.
You can also complete and send in the Lost Item Report Form on our platform so that our team can assist you in reporting your lost item(s).
Where Belongings Turn Up at PBM
A few spots account for most reports at Zanderij :
- Security screening and the departure lounge seating
- The baggage reclaim area
- The airport bus to and from Paramaribo
- The terminal’s taxi rank
- The pick-up area outside, where the long road transfer begins
Collecting Your Item
To collect, bring identification that matches the report, or send someone you trust with written authorisation and both sets of documents. Given the distance from Paramaribo, it is worth asking the office whether the item can be held for your return flight or forwarded to you rather than making the trip twice.
