Flying directly from Barbados, InterCaribbean Airways’ inaugural flight touched down at the Cheddi Jagan International Airport, Timehri (CJIA) yesterday to signal the imminent launch of new flight options for travellers and connectivity to over 13 Caribbean destinations.

The inaugural flight is the manifestation of a conversation which started five years ago, Trevor Saddler, interCaribbean Airlines Chief Executive Officer said in his remarks marking the occasion at the CJIA. He noted that plans to operate on the Guyana/Barbados route were delayed due to the pandemic. Saddler explained that with 30 years of service in the industry, the airline is committed to servicing the needs of passengers from Guyana.
