Guyana, Aruba to have direct flights soon

Nov 25, 2018 News

Representatives of Guyana and Aruba have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to initiate the process for the facilitation of direct flights between the two countries.
The signing took place at Arthur Chung Conference Centre (ACCC) where the 2018 International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) Air Transport Meeting was held. The memorandum was signed on November 22.
Director-General for the Guyana Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA), Retired Lieutenant Colonel, Egbert Field, and Acting Director-General, Department of Civil Aviation, Aruba, Anthony Kirchner, signed the MoU on behalf of their respective countries.
Field said the initiative began a few months ago after Aruba Airlines signalled its intention to begin flights to Guyana.
“We must proceed with open skies; that’s the view of this authority. We must go further afield in the signing of not only MOUs, but air services agreements. These instruments are the elements and basis on which airlines could ride on.
“There must be increased equipment. With this in place, any airline wishing to operate in Guyana is invited to apply to conduct operations. The doubling of air traffic will have a boom for them. GCAA is happy to complete the agreement,” Col. Field explained
Representatives of the Guyana Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA) had announced, weeks in advance, that they would use the event to capitalize on opportunities for air services agreements with countries that sent representatives.
