DYNAMIC International Airlines is set to work collaboratively with the team assigned to organise the events for Guyana’s 50th Independence Anniversary, and will increase flights in and out of Guyana. The airline is said to be ready to offer more reliable services in Guyana after pulling itself together with proper management and improved systems.
Dynamic has secured a back-up aircraft within the Region to prevent a repeat of last December’s fiascos, when there were numerous flight problems causing a number of flights to be postponed.
During a press conference yesterday at Roraima Duke Lodge, Captain Gerry Gouveia of Roraima Airways disclosed that Dynamic Airways has been operating at a 95% on-time schedule with a 90% capacity.

CARGO SERVICE
The U.S.-registered carrier is also seeking approval from the Guyanese authorities to launch a full cargo service between Georgetown and New York.
This service will focus primarily on Guyanese farmers and producers, who may be looking to penetrate the North American market where there is a large Guyanese population.
Gouveia said the U.S. authorities have already given the headway for the cargo service and all documents have since been sent to the Guyana Civil Aviation Authority for approval here.
The carrier is also expected to partner with the Guyana government and other airlines to promote Guyana as a tourism destination as the country approaches its 50th Independence anniversary.
Hundreds of Guyanese are expected to return home for the celebration and Dynamic intends to play a key role in ensuring that they are able to enjoy competitive flights to Guyana.
Meanwhile, Chief Operations Officer of Dynamic International John Mullins, is currently in Guyana and has already held discussions with government officials and other aviation personnel.
Mullins said the airline is on “firm footing” and is operating better than it had done in the past, noting that, “the carrier is now a full -schedule carrier between Georgetown and New York and management is moving to ensure better service.”
Mullins recounted the problems encountered by the airline in the past and gave a commitment that there will be no such repeats.
“I will make sure that there is a back-up aircraft in the Region just in case, because as you know it’s Christmas time. And so as a company we will not experience that again and as a community serving the Guyanese market, we do not expect the Guyanese to tolerate that,” Mullins assured.
Mullins and local handler Gouveia also announced that the airline will be making a move to support locally grown cash crops and fruits as Dynamic International is looking to get into the export of local produce to the New York market.
Gouveia disclosed that the company has already begun engaging the government and local producers to ensure that everything is up to scratch as it relates to the export of goods.
“We are looking to find a mechanism to flood the New York market with Guyanese fresh produce. There is [sic] ten tons of cargo space and Dynamic intends to fill that cargo space with fresh fruits and vegetables,” Gouveia stated.
The local handler for Dynamic International said that the company is strongly encouraged by the reception and the opportunities that exist in the sector.
He said that already systems have been put in place to ensure the necessary requirements are met by the local producers and there is a hassle-free process in getting the produce into the U.S. market.
“What it means is that we will have people working with Dynamic that will have to meet phytosanitary systems and regulations of the U.S. market.”
The New Guyana Marketing Corporation (NGMC) has already indicated that an export market potential exists for citrus fruits such as oranges, grapefruit, tangerines and limes, as well as exotic fruits such as mangoes, sapodillas, papayas, pineapples and passion fruit.
Additionally, opportunities exist for a range of vegetables such as cucumber, pumpkins, watermelon, melon, saeme, bora, and callalloo within the Caribbean and North American markets.
