Dynamic returns with direct flight from JFK

DYNAMIC Airways returned to the Guyana market last Saturday with a direct flight from JFK Airport in New York.

The Guyana Chronicle spoke briefly with Managing Director of Roraima Group of Companies, Captain Gerald Gouveia who said that the flight touched down some three hours after its expected arrival time but the late arrival was blamed on a late departure from JFK which was not explained.
The U.S.-based airline according to the document received from the Guyana Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA) will be plying the Guyana route on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays where the airline will be operating non-stop, non-scheduled flights. One of the airline’s Boeing 767 aircraft will be based in Guyana to fly between Guyana and New York and Toronto.
Recently the GCAA granted the carrier full permission to begin its service. At a recent press briefing Captain Gouveia explained that GCAA wanted to ensure that the carrier was granted full U.S. permission before they gave clearance. The U.S. Department of Transportation granted the carrier approval for its service to Guyana in October.
The airline had suspended all flights on July 8, approximately two weeks after it commenced operations. The airline had explained that the suspension was due to operational difficulties it had encountered while trying to secure time slots at the JFK Airport for the month of July. The company was forced to cease all flights and had given a date of return, but the airline failed to honour its August 8 target date to return direct flights between CJIA and JFK.
The airline’s ground handling will be handled by Roraima Airways while Travelspan Travel agency has entered an arrangement to buy bulk seats on each flight. The airline is currently offering fares between New York and Guyana at US$499.
