DYNAMIC Airways, which is set to begin flights to Guyana on June 26, will, as part of the venture, be hiring 50 Guyanese flight attendants. Towards the latter purpose, the airline hosted a job fair yesterday, at Duke Lodge in Kingston, Georgetown, where about 300 persons turned up to be interviewed.
Speaking to the Guyana Chronicle, Director of In-Flight, Deanna Amos explained that it was in an effort to employ a Guyanese crew.
She said, however, that she is very overwhelmed by the turnout of applicants but will be telling them what they can expect from the company about the training, the qualifications they would need and “for those we would have chosen we will then elaborate.”
Amos said part of the training for the 50 recruited will be conducted here in Guyana.
“We will do two to two and a half weeks of training right here at the Duke Lodge and then we will take everyone up to the U.S. (United States of America) to complete the hands-on drills portion,” she added.
The airline’s partnership with Guyana has started to see a complete business structure where special logos and websites will be specially designed to reflect it.
Guyanese crew
At the job fair, Dynamic Airways unveiled the new Guyana flight attendant uniform and explained that it will be worn only by the Guyanese crew.
It had been announced at the launch that flights will start at an introductory cost of US$499 between New York and Guyana and persons flying from Guyana to New York will pay US$575.
Travellers will be allowed two pieces of luggage at 55 pounds each and one hand piece of 25 pounds. There will be four scheduled flights per week, on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays and Sundays.
The airline has already filed all necessary documents and a bond with the Guyana Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA) and local bookings could be done through Roraima Airways or other travel agents. International bookings can be secured via the website www.fly-dynamic.com.
