Isn’t it about time that we have our own airline?
DEAR EDITOR,
A five-hour flight aboard a JetBlue aircraft from John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York to Piarco Airport in Trinidad on a one-way ticket, including baggage fees and taxes cost US$214.70. A fifty-five minute flight on a one-way ticket, travelling from Piarco in Trinidad to Cheddi Jagan International Airport in Guyana aboard Caribbean Airlines, cost US $171.93. Go figure.
Back in 2001, some intelligent people who were stewards of this country disbanded our national airline, leaving us the travelling public to the whims and fancies of others; read that as “exploitation” by which ever name is written on the aircraft doing business in Guyana.
Isn’t it about time that we have our own airline?
Yours Faithfully
Milton Bruce
