Fly Jamaica cleared to operate from Guyana

The Government of Guyana has granted its approval for Fly Jamaica to operate the Georgetown/New York and the Georgetown/Toronto routes from Guyana.
Head of the Presidential Secretariat and Cabinet Secretary Dr. Roger Luncheon revealed this today at a press conference, according to the Government Information Agency.

Dr. Luncheon stated that the approval came after the standard evaluation procedures were conducted by the Guyana Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA), and the recommendations made to Cabinet by Minister of Public Works Robeson Benn.

GINA said it is hoped that flight operations would begin as early as possible after all formalities would have been completed. Dr. Luncheon said that Fly Jamaica should have completed those requirements and deposited the required bond of $40M before the recommendation could have been made to Cabinet by Minister Benn.
