THREE months after Dynamic International Airways ended its service between Guyana and New York, passengers who had booked with the carrier prior to its closure can see themselves being refunded in the not so distant future.

In a statement, Permanent Secretary of the Public Infrastructure Ministry, Kenneth Jordan disclosed that a meeting is scheduled for today Wednesday to address mechanism for the reimbursement of passengers.

Jordan explained that Dynamic Airways, as required, had lodged a bond with the Government of Guyana to the tune of US$200,000 – an equivalent of G$40,000,000. Captain Gerry Gouveia of Roraima Airways, who was formerly the handling agent for the North Carolina –based air carrier, following its closure handed over the passengers’ information to the Government with the intention that the bond be used to refund the affected.

“Mr. Gouveia sent us a list containing 604 names of individuals who purchased tickets and are to be refunded. The refund of 604 passengers will amount to just over US$189,000.00,” the Public Infrastructure Permanent Secretary explained.

Jordan noted that immediately after the meeting, notices will be placed in the media to inform the affected passengers when, where, and how the refunds will be made.
Dynamic Airways discontinued its operation here on October 3, 2017.

In July, 2017 the carrier had announced that it had filed a voluntary Chapter 11 petition with the United States Bankruptcy Court. It was the carrier’s intention to continue its operations here but its principals restructured plans did not work out as planned. The airline noted that its decision to file for bankruptcy protection followed upon litigation matters, resulting from Hajj flights the airline operated in 2014 for Air India.
