Dynamic passengers to be refunded from May 2

SEVEN months after Dynamic International Airways closed its operations here in Guyana, affected passengers will be refunded.
The Public Infrastructure Minister, in a statement on Thursday, said the process of refunds for tickets issued by Dynamic International Airways will commence from Wednesday May 2, 2018.

“Refunds will be issued Mondays to Thursdays from 09:00hrs to 15:00hrs and Fridays from 09:00hrs to 14:00hrs at the Ministry of Public Infrastructure’s Accounts Department, Fort Street, Kingston,” according to the statement.

Passengers are required to have their Identification Cards (IDs) or Passports, in addition to proof of ticket purchase. In cases where an individual is appearing on another’s behalf, the Ministry said that an authorisation letter, with two signed witnesses from the passenger whose name appears on the list, is required, along with an identification document of the person uplifting the refund.

“To allow for smooth processing, passengers have been organised by dates, with a maximum of 80 persons being accommodated each day. Passengers who do not appear on their identified dates will be allowed to appear during the fall-back period, May 14, 2018 to May 25, 2018,” the Public Infrastructure Ministry stated.

Electronic copies of the list are available on the Public Infrastructure Ministry’s website (www.mopi.gov.gy) and Facebook page as well as the Roraima Airways’ website (www.roraimaairways.com) and Facebook page.

The announcement comes months after the Ministry initiated the process to access a bond for the sum of US $200,000. The US $200,000 or GUY $40M was lodged by Dynamic International Airways, LLC, in collaboration with their local handling agent, Roraima Airways Inc. Some 609 passengers are eligible for the refund. The refund for the 604 passengers is expected to amount to just over US$189,000.

In July, 2017 the carrier had announced that it had filed a voluntary Chapter 11 petition with the United States Bankruptcy Court. It was the carrier’s intention to continue its operations here but its principals restructured plans did not work out as planned.

The airline noted that its decision to file for bankruptcy protection followed upon litigation matters, resulting from Hajj flights the airline operated in 2014 for Air India. Dynamic International Airways closed its operation here, in Guyana, last October.
