Persons wishing to fly out of Guyana may have to wait until late December or early 2021 to do so as this country will not open up to commercial air travel until it is assured that rigid COVID-19 prevention measures are in place and cases here have reduced significantly, says Guyana Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA) Director (Ret’d) Colonel Egbert Field.
And while the GCAA believes that American Airlines (AA) will be able to resume flying here sometime in July, Field noted that those flights will be inbound only from Florida with a New York resumption not until “sometime in December”.
“It will be done over a period of time and in phases where we will have what we call a soft opening at first, and then based on the capacity of our health services, we will gradually increase. I anticipate that not until later this year or early next [year] that we will have unlimited flights,” Field told the Stabroek News yesterday.
