Dynamic rebounds from rocky 2014 start –now running very efficiently

DYNAMIC Airways, after a rocky start in 2014, has managed to deliver services to more than 22,000 passengers from New York to Georgetown since February and the company has also been able to renew their licence. Speaking with the Guyana Chronicle, Chief Executive Officer of Roraima Airways, Captain Gerald Gouveia said that the airline has had some troubled times but with hard work and dedication it has been running very efficiently four days weekly, Tuesdays Thursdays Fridays and Saturday.
“We have been able to prove that our flights are on time, flight arrives every morning at 06:30h and depart at 16:00h in the evening on time every time.”
Responding to the question about the trust persons now have in the service, Gouveia noted that persons have now been able to put more trust in the frequency and timing of their flights. “The loads have been very good and Dynamic intends to continue this service which has been extended since their licence have been renewed from June.”
Speaking about the high demand for flights to and from New York for the summer vacation, he noted that “we expect during the high season we will ramp up to five flights weekly and depends on the load we will increase flights as is necessary.” He also noted that to ‘spice things up’ a bit the airline will be starting an inflight raffle for passenger’s using their tickets as the raffle number on every flight, and the prizes will be local tours either to Kaieteur Falls or Arrow Point Resort and for people going to New York the passengers will win something on the New York side.
According to Gouveia the airline is still looking into the extension into the Toronto route and also Dynamic will start to look more now at the tourism packages. “Out of North America we will sell a package that includes airfare, hotel accommodation and the local tours.”
Previously the airline had indicated their interest in the movement of cargo between Georgetown and New York. Gouveia said that the company has started moving some cargo from the Unites States but the restrictions of cargo out of Guyana is limited. He noted that “because of the airport’s limited capabilities” it makes it challenging to take cargo from Guyana.

UPGRADED SCANNER
Gouveia explained that “when you are putting cargo onto a passenger plane it has to go through a different process, so right now the Cheddi Jagan International Airport (CJIA) needs an upgraded scanner.” He explained also that currently the authorities at CJIA is in the process of researching and selecting a scanner for the airport but “until the airport gets the scanner it becomes difficult to put cargo onto a passenger plane.”
