American Airlines has announced a new route between Cheddi Jagan International Airport (GEO) in Georgetown, Guyana and Miami International Airport (MIA), starting December 20, next.
“We are pleased to continue growing our presence in South America,” said Jim Butler, American Airlines’ Senior Vice President, International and Cargo.
“This new service adds a new international destination to American’s global network, promoting tourism in the country and offering the people of Guyana multiple connecting options through our hub in Miami.”
This new service will operate four times per week with an Airbus A319. This aircraft features eight seats in First Class, 24 seats in Main Cabin Extra with more legroom, and 96 seats in Main Cabin, in addition to more entertainment options and power outlets in every seat.
During the summer season in 2019, this service will be operated daily.
“The airline has a strong presence in South America. It is the premier carrier to the region offering more flights to more destinations than any other carrier. From Miami, the airline operates more than 330 daily flights to 135 destinations around the world,” the airline said in the statement.
American Airlines and American Eagle offer an average of nearly 6,700 flights per day to nearly 350 destinations in more than 50 countries. American has hubs in Charlotte, Chicago, Dallas/Fort Worth, Los Angeles, Miami, New York, Philadelphia, Phoenix, and Washington, D.C. American Airlines is a founding member of the one world alliance, whose members serve more than 1,000 destinations with about 14,250 daily flights to over 150 countries.
Guyana has a huge demand for new airline services particularly within the North American routes, and there are times when tickets are very expensive.
