New airline coming to Guyana
A new airline, Regional Jet Express, has announced its intention to serve 12 Caribbean nations, including Guyana sometime next month.
A Fairchild Dornier 328 jet, expected to be part of the Regional Jet Express fleet that will soon serve Guyana and the Caribbean.
The airline is expected to serve destinations in Barbados, Dominica, Guyana, Jamaica, Panama, Puerto Rico, Santo Domingo in the Dominican Republic, St. Croix and St. Thomas in the U.S. Virgin Islands, Suriname, Tortola in the British Virgin Islands, and Trinidad and Tobago.
Additionally, Regional Jet Express is expected to add both Cuba and Haiti to its list of destinations all over the Caribbean. These two islands will be served using non-U.S. registered aircraft.
The airline intends to use the Fairchild Dornier 328 jet, the world’s first 32-seat regional jet. A regional jet is simply a short-haul, turbofan-powered aircraft used for commuter flights.
Due to the fuel efficient, Pratt & Whitney Canada PW306B turbofans that power these aircraft, Regional Jet Express has said that this will result in “halved flying times and cheaper fares.” It is expected that airfare will range between US$100 and US$700, depending on the destination.
The Fairchild Dornier 328 jet also sports a high-winged design that enables excellent views because the wings and engines are positioned above the windows and a ride unlike noisy turbo-propeller planes that fly in the Caribbean region.
