  • Win for Guyana, St. Lucia & the UK as British Airways recommences flights

    Win for Guyana, St. Lucia & the UK as British Airways recommences flights

    Similar sentiments were expressed by Minister within the Public Works ministry, Deodat Indar, who added that government’s aggressive policy-driven approach to development and heavy investments are seeing hordes of people coming into Guyana.

    Minister Indar noted, “Guyanese should be proud that what we have now is an environment that can bring more aircraft from different destinations. For an investment decision to fly the Guyana route, it took some amount of doing, some amount of calculation, and some amount of confidence in Guyana, and I am hoping that other airways follow suit as British Airways did to fly this route.”

    This further enhances the country’s connectivity to the Caribbean and the rest of the world.

    Meanwhile, Minister of Tourism, Industry and Commerce, Oneidge Walrond said that the introduction of the flights presents a myriad of opportunities for Guyana, including those for additional partnerships.

    She said, “Connecting the world to Guyana remains a priority of this government. We see Guyana as an active part  of a global travel network, and we are continually engaging major airlines with a view to encouraging them to serve this destination. Our pursuit of airline connectivity is part of a wider strategic economic objective to make Guyana easily and affordably accessible to all business in all sectors, including the leisure and pleasure travel sector.”

    The direct flights are prefaced by the visa-free travel to the United Kingdom, announced late last year. This move to further strengthen government-to-government and people-to-people relations allows for Guyanese to visit the UK for up to 180 days or six months without the requirement of a visitor’s visa.

    Indian High Commissioner, K.J Srinivasa, United Kingdom Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State at the Foreign, Commonwealth, & Development Office, David Rutley, Chairman of the CJIA board, Sanjeev Datadin, and CEO, Ramesh Ghir were also in attendance.

    Dominican Republic Airline SkyCana on exploratory visit to Guyana

    Executives of Dominican Republic carrier SkyCana are in talks with aviation and government officials in Guyana as the airline explores the possibility of serving this route.

    Should the airline fly to Guyana it will most likely be from Texas and Canada through the Dominican Republic, for refuelling purposes.

    Chief Executive Officer of SkyCana Frank Diaz on Monday led a team of officials to Guyana and met with Chief Executive Officer of the Cheddi Jagan International Airport (CJIA) Ramesh Ghir, the Minister of Public Works Juan Edghill and Chairman of the CJIA Board Sanjeev Datadin.

    “We are here to collaborate with Guyana and bring more operation… We can supply any needs that you have here in the country,” Diaz said.

    Guyanese authorities welcomed the interest which will be explored in the weeks and months ahead to determine feasibility.

    “We all know that in Guyana at present. We are in need of roots out of Guyana. We are in need of more diverse roots,” Datadin said.

    SkyCana is a carrier based at Las Américas International Airport in Santo Domingo (SDQ). It has a fleet of ten aircraft, including two Airbus A330s, three Airbus A321s, four Airbus A320s, and one cargo turboprop. In November, Sky Cana added two Airbus A320-200s to its fleet.

    The Dominican carrier operates charter flights.

    The airline announced flights to and from New York, Puerto Rico, and Miami last December.

    Minister McCoy promised the communities that President Irfaan Ali and the Government of Guyana are fully committed to their development in the area of sports and would be working hand in hand with the Ministry of Sport to ensure that their needs are taken care of.

    Tornade 1 : Plusieurs cas de kidnapping déjoués par la Police

    La Police a déjoué un kidnapping, le dimanche 26 mars 2023, dans la zone de Sainte-Anne, située au Centre-ville de Port-au-Prince.

    Ces dernières semaines, la Police Nationale d’Haïti a réussi à mettre en échec des bandits armés qui tentaient de réaliser plusieurs cas de kidnapping, notamment au niveau de l’aire métropolitaine de Port-au-Prince.

    Selon la PNH, lors des interventions policières, plusieurs malfrats ont été tués  dans des échanges de tirs, des armes à feu et des munitions ont été saisies, ainsi que d’autres matériels confisqués, particulièrement à Poste Marchand.

    Ces résultats sont le fruit du nouveau plan de sécurité élaboré par la PNH, lors des dernières réunions de commandement organisées sous le leadership du DG Frantz Elbé.

    La Police Nationale, une fois de plus, continue à solliciter la collaboration de la population dans sa lutte contre le grand banditisme, particulièrement le kidnapping.
