AIR Services Limited (ASL) was pleased to host Mr. Indranauth Haralsingh, Executive Director of the Guyana Tourism Authority (GTA) and four of the GTA staff on a familiarization tour yesterday. 

When told about ASL’s helicopter tour, Mr. Haralsingh said, “This is an excellent opportunity for those who have never stepped into an aircraft, much less a helicopter. The tour offers passengers not only a spectacular aerial view of the city, but also the chance to witness the transformation of our beautiful city from the air, first-hand.”
The ASL helipad for GuyExpo is located at the northern car park at Sophia, and is demarcated with ASL banners. Two ASL helicopters will be offering tours daily from 13:00hrs to 17:30hrs tomorrow, and from 12.00hrs to 17.30hrs on Saturday and Sunday. Tours have to be completed by 17:30hrs each day in order for the helicopters to return to Ogle Airport before sunset.
Each helicopter can accommodate six passengers who will be taken on a ten minute tour of the city, offering a bird’s eye-view of the new and emerging city of Georgetown. The route will include South Ruimveldt, the Demerara Harbour Bridge, businesses along the Demerara River, the Mariott Hotel, the Pegasus and Ocean View Hotels, CARICOM Secretariat, the International Convention Centre and Beepat’s Mall before returning to Sophia.

Tickets are $9,000 per passenger, and ASL is encouraging everyone to purchase tickets early in order to avoid the rush.
