“Ms. Oudkerk is a Guyanese national who brings a wealth of marketing experience to the job. She has been in the marketing and tourism field for more than 10 years and has made significant strides in producing results,” Copa Airlines said in a statement yesterday.
Prior to joining Copa Airlines, she was the Senior Marketing Officer with GTA.
According to Oudkerk, “Copa offers an incredible opportunity for the people of Guyana to experience a higher and distinctive level of travel and service. With 69 destinations in 30 countries, Copa’s offers to the market will connect us in ways that were never before possible and at very competitive prices. I am looking forward to working with this dynamic airline and the passionate team to ensure the success of Copa Airlines in Guyana.”
Copa Airlines and Copa Airlines Colombia, subsidiaries of Copa Holdings, are leading Latin American providers of passengers and cargo services. The airlines currently offer service to 69 destinations in 30 countries in North, Central and South America and the Caribbean. During Copa Airlines’ more than 65 years of uninterrupted operations, it claims to have transformed the Hub of the Americas in Panama into the leading one on the continent.
“Copa operates one of the youngest and most modern fleets in the industry, consisting of 91 aircraft: 65 Boeing 737 Next-Generation aircraft and 26 Embraer-190s, and has an on-time performance of almost 90 percent, on par with the major airlines worldwide.”
Copa is a member of the Star Alliance, the leading global airline network, offering passengers 1,269 destinations in 193 countries with more than 18,000 daily flights and 1,000 VIP lounges.
Guyana has been on a campaign to attract new carriers after a number of airlines spectacularly folded or pulled out.
The country has managed to attract the national airline from Venezuela, Air Jamaica and TravelSpan. The latter two are serving the North America market, a highly lucrative one.
