PROBLEMATIC airline, Dynamic International Airways, has suspended all flights to Guyana and reports from some travel agents in Guyana and New York suggest that the troubled airline has pulled out of their ticketing systems for the remainder of 2017.
A check on the airline’s website indicates that all flights for the remainder of the year are either “sold out” or “no flights are available “ and passengers who have already booked to fly with the airline later this year have already expressed worry at the latest development.
Captain Gerry Gouveia, CEO of Roraima Airways, the local handler for Dynamic, suggested in a social media post that the end is near for the international carrier. “The final days for the final flights are being counted down, even as the planes continue to operate with 90% loads,” Gouveia wrote on social media on Tuesday morning.

A member of the public reported that her family had booked with the airline to travel to the U.S. later in the year. She said that the family is at a loss as to their next move. For years the airline has been faced with challenges including delays in Guyana, as well as New York, where persons have been stranded for days while the airline experienced operational issues.
In July, the carrier announced that it has filed a voluntary Chapter 11 petition with the United States Bankruptcy Court. It stated that it intends to continue its operations here as its principals restructure plans. The airline noted that its decision to file for bankruptcy protection follows upon litigation matters resulting from Hajj flights the airline operated in 2014 for Air India.

“It also follows the entry of a judgment in the United States District Court for the Middle District of North Carolina affirming an arbitration award against Dynamic Int’l. issued by the Canadian Arbitration Association in April 2017, which determined that Dynamic int’l. was in breach of contract by failing to pay commissions to BKP Enterprises in connection with the Hajj flights. While the debtor has filed a notice of appeal and intends to challenge the judgment and award, Dynamic Int’l said It has no immediate recourse to stay the judgment and has determined the commencement of the Chapter 11 case is necessary,” the statement said.
Guyanese travellers have noted that the imminent closure of the airline’s operations is likely to result in a climb in airfare rates from other carriers which ply the Georgetown-New York route. Currently, Caribbean Airlines and Fly Jamaica Airways operate flights along the lucrative route.
