US clears return of Dynamic Airways to Guyana
More than seven weeks after cancelling Dynamic Airways flights between New York and Georgetown, US authorities have cleared the way for operations to resume.
Dynamic Airways has been cleared by the US to resume flights to Guyana.
In a statement yesterday, Dynamic said that the US Department of Transportation (DOT), had granted approvals and that flights could resume as early as next month.
According to Bill Gray, Chief Operating Officer (COO) of the North Carolina-based outfit, the approvals will allow flights to a number of destinations also in South America.
“The airline is planning to resume regular flights between New York and Georgetown, Guyana late next month, as well as inaugurate services between Orlando and destinations in Brazil, Canada, and US,” Gray said in the statement.
“Our flights to Georgetown this summer revealed a tremendous need for reliable, quality air service. Since that time, Dynamic has undergone a substantial internal reorganization with new management and a new focus on its product and service. Starting late November, Guyana will now enjoy the comfort and quality air service that this Caribbean nation deserves.”
