GOLDEN Arrow Airways (GAA) announced on July 30 the launch of its inaugural daily Guided Tour to Kaieteur Falls which began on Frida. 

On April 25 GAA moved to gain certification to begin domestic flights across Guyana with its demonstration flight to Hampton Court, Essequibo Coast.
Nirvana Mahase, Co-owner of GAA, related that this tour will entail a daily scheduled flight, which will depart from the Ogle International Airport with an estimated travel time to Kaieteur of approximately one hour. She added that passengers can expect a guided tour to the Kaieteur Falls and its neighbouring environment by the Kaieteur Parks Commission.
“At the moment GAA flies weekly to Matthew’s Ridge, Yakishuru, Konawaruk and Baramita; and intends to fly to more tourist destinations in the near future, but the launch of this daily flight was prompted by the increasing demand from tourists and other Guyanese returning on holiday” Mahase indicated.
GAA is currently operating a Trislander aircraft which is powered by three engines and comfortably seats 17 passengers and operates out of Caribbean Aviation Maintenance Services Limited (CAMSL) Hangar at Ogle and it is piloted by Captain Learie Barclay which is the only triple-engine aircraft in Guyana operating in the industry. This triple-engine feature offers enforced safety and reliability; and meets most international insurance standards which prove favourable for tourists.
Golden Arrow Airways also feels that this promotion will encourage local Guyanese to have an opportunity to enjoy one of the majestic features of their country.
