Guyanese passengers travelling with the regional airline LIAT are promised a renewed flying experience as the company moves to significantly improve customer service, starting with the replacement of its older airplanes.
LIAT 48-seat ATR 42-600 made its inaugural trip to Guyana on Wednesday
The company continues to push on with its fleet upgrade, with Guyanese getting their first sample of one of the new aircraft in the re-fleeting programme last Wednesday. The airline’s new ATR 42-600 landed at the Ogle International Airport around 14:00hours.
The ATR-42, with a seating of 48, is expected to fly Guyana once daily, and twice during the peak season.
LIAT’s Acting Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Julie Reifer-Jones, had stated when the latest aircraft was flown in from France that the company, “remains commitment to raise the standard of customer service throughout the LIAT network; and 2014 is the year when our customers and the general public will see that we are determined to serve the region better.”
LIAT is expected to complete its modernization programme at the end of the year.
