Eastern Airlines was granted approval to operate here after it committed to lodging two huge bonds with the government and the Guyana Revenue Authority (GRA).
Minister of Public Infrastructure David Patterson told Stabroek News yesterday that the airline in their application committed US$250,000 and another large bond to the GRA.
He stated that given the amount of the bonds, government felt that they were committed to serving the Guyanese market and with that in mind approval was granted.
Minister of State Dawn Hastings-Williams during the launch of Air Services Limited’s new routes to the Upper Mazaruni disclosed that Eastern Airlines, which has been completely rebranded is scheduled to begin operations here.
