I’ve noticed a few articles in the papers recently, regarding a possible increase in fares at due to airport taxes. I fervently hope this does not end up being the case.
We have read of the high prices to get to and from Guyana. Any increase in airfare by the major airlines would not be welcome, it would only serve to deter visitors and burden Guyanese also.
I must commend Caribbean Airlines for their presence at the Mashramani 2019 celebrations. Not only were there numerous signs along the roads proclaiming them as the official airline of Mash 2019, but they were also present moving with the Pulse truck on Vlissengen Road. If the abundance of signage on the truck was to be any indication, perhaps Caribbean Airlines is truly becoming more immersed in the culture and heritage of Guyana.
But culture aside, I understand that they are, at the end of the day, a business and must do what is necessary to keep operations running — including adjusting prices and having a brand presence at major events such as this. That being said, I am a little heartened by the fact that they choose to be as invested as they seem to be in the Guyanese culture and celebrations.
Sincerely
Customer
