Georgetown: With effect from May 27, for a period of one-month, Caribbean Airlines will fly an additional flight, that is expected to bring 900 seats more, Minister of Tourism, Industry and Commerce Irfaan Ali noted.
Additionally, as the Ministry continues to look at having more airlines ply the Guyana route, from June 27 to the end of September, there will be daily flights in addition to what exists.
“You will have daily flights to the US…in addition to that, once the traffic remains high, the daily flights will continue past September into the Christmas season,” Minister Ali stated.
The Ministry of Tourism has been marketing Guyana as a viable tourism destination through its arm, the Guyana Tourism Authority (GTA), and it is expected that tourist arrivals will increase.
