Hoping to tap into the Christmas peak season, Turks and Caicos-based interCaribbean Airlines will from December 17 begin servicing the Barbados to Guyana route daily and promises that it is in for the long haul.

“… I know we will be successful because we are here for the long haul,” Chairman of Caribbean Airlines Lyndon Gardiner told the Stabroek News last evening, following the airline’s official launch at the headquarters of its local handlers, Roraima Airways, at Duke Lodge in Kingston, Georgetown.

And while during the pandemic period many persons saw investing in expanding in airline services as “doom and gloom”, Gardiner told attendees at last evening’s launch that he chose to look at the glass as “half full” and pressed on with the investment, opening a base in base in Barbados as the airline prepared and worked on getting the Guyana licence.
