Georgetown- flights from Georgetown to Miami will create opportunities for those in the diaspora to return and invest or just travel. Both Guyana and Suriname, President Ramotar said, stand to benefit significantly, as both countries are classified as Caribbean and South American states.
The president stated: “This will also give us easier opportunities to fly to Africa and other southern destinations. To get there now we have to travel to North America and then pass our countries before reaching there. Now, this will offer us opportunities of getting there faster, cheaper, and with less fatigue.” President Ramotar lauded the initiative, noting that this will also boost tourism and open linkages, not only in the Caribbean, but the rest of the South American region. Tourism, he said, could also be developed further for both Guyana and Suriname, through Europe.
Meanwhile, President Bouterse, who was accompanied by some of members of his government, lauded the initiative taken by Surinam Airways. The Surinamese leader noted that the two countries are likely to benefit from each other in many ways, pointing out that both countries are active members of several regional and international bodies. Surinam Airways has returned to Guyana and will be offering non-stop flights from Georgetown to Miami. The airline currently flies to several destinations, including Europe and Brazil, and will operate flights from Georgetown to Paramaribo every Tuesday and Saturday.
