A KLM Boeing 777-300, registration PH-BVR performing flight KL-713 from Amsterdam (Netherlands) to Paramaribo (Suriname), was descending towards Paramaribo when the crew stopped the descent at FL180 at about 13:35L (16:35Z) and entered a hold due to unavailability of Air Traffic Control. After about 25 minutes in the hold the crew decided to divert to Cayenne (French Guyana) where the aircraft landed safely about one hour after aborting the approach to Paramaribo.
The aircraft remained on the ground in Cayenne for about 80 minutes, then departed Cayenne for Paramaribo and landed in Paramaribo with a delay of about 3 hours.
Suriname's Ministry of Transport reported in the morning there was a shortage of ATC controllers due to a series of sick leave messages, if not addressed traffic to and from Paramaribo would come to a stand still by 16:00, they were working on calling air traffic controllers in.
