But the airline is also looking to partner more with the Guyana Government, particularly its Tourism Ministry in terms of promoting “Destination Guyana”.
This was the message from InselAir’s top brass yesterday, Edward Heerenveen, who provided an update on the operations of the service and spoke of heightened optimism when it came to promoting Guyana, particularly when it comes to the hosting of Guyana’s 50th Anniversary Celebrations.
Heerenveen and local representative, Captain Gerry Gouveia, yesterday provided an update on the operations of the service locally and was in loud praise of Tourism Minister, Cathy Hughes.
With 20 planes in its fleet and operating on some 26 destinations, the airline’s top executive told media operatives that InselAir is committed to servicing and promoting the Guyana Destination.
He said the visit by the company’s top brass, including its Sales Manager, Nicole Berenos was, in part, specifically to meet with the new Government and its Tourism Minister.
Following a meeting with Minister Hughes, Heerveen reported on her enthusiasm and spoke to how she was “working day and night for the cause of Guyana.”
InselAir, he said, is looking to add two more destinations to its route by next year to add to the already direct links to some 19 destinations afforded to the travelling Guyanese public.
He said, the airline offers direct flights to destinations as far as China, India and Egypt.
According to Heereveen, InselAir enjoys good relations with a number of companies in the Private Sector locally and afield.
Speaking to the advantages of using InselAir, Heereveen spoke to its hub and connectivity to its destinations which are complemented by co-sharing agreements with other airlines around the world, which will facilitate access to even more destinations for its customers.
