The history
In the 30’s there where already airway connections between Surinam and other countries. Surinam did not have their own airway except for the sports aircraft. In 1953 a private initiative came up with the idea to create an airway for Surinam. The original idea was to create a regular connection between the different Surinamese City’s. In 1955 the domestic activities were started. The line connection between Paramaribo and de small bauxite ore city Moengo, where they used sports aircraft, came about. On the 30th of August 1962 Surinam airways was officially founded. The Surinamese government were aware of the need to open up the interior and create a large number of landing sites.
The SLM assisted by purchasing the Bell-47G helicopter, which were also used to irrigate the rice district at Wageningen and even across the borders, in Guyana. There were tried several scheduled flights to various places in Suriname, as well as different types of aircraft. After years of experience with the DHC Twin Otters, that were STOL (Short Take Off and Landing, these aircrafts were chosen.
The International activities of SLM began in 1964, when a pool agreement was concluded between the KLM, ALM and SLM to jointly operate the route between Paramaribo and Curacao, with stops in Georgetown (Guyana) and Port of Spain (Trinidad). After ALM began to operate independently, KLM withdrew from the pool and ALM and SLM continued. Initially, the SLM was confined to cabin crew and the marketing activities in the two Guyana’s. After a while also pilots.
On the evening before the Surinamese Independence, in 1975 the SLM successfully
