AFTER four weeks of intense training and examinations, five Guyanese, one Barbadian and one Vincentian, will soon be joining the inteCaribbean Airways’ team as flight attendants and cultural ambassadors for their respective countries.

The flight attendants, on Friday, received their certificates and inaugural wings at a small ceremony held at the Roraima Duke Lodge in Kingston, Georgetown.

“I’m so excited,” Rhinold Cameron, one of the airlines newest flight attendants told the Guyana Chronicle moments after he received his certificate.
Coming from an aviation family, Cameron is no stranger to flying. However, the young man noted that he is particularly excited for this journey as he will be given the opportunity to see new places, while taking care of passengers and of course doing what he loves best, flying.

“I’m excited to see the various destinations that interCaribbean would go to seeing that this is my second shot of being a flight attendant and I would have gone to some destinations before but interCaribbean is now giving me the opportunity to see many more places,” he said.

Sharing similar sentiments was Kellyann Norman. She stated that she too is excited for what interCaribbean has to offer.

“I’ve always liked aviation and it’s been my passion since I was a kid, just a feeling about being up in the air makes me feel motivated,” she added.
Meanwhile, Candasy Layne, who also shares an immense passion for aviation disclosed that, while the training sessions were intense, it was fulfilling to get her feet wet again after some time.

“It was intense and that is expected in any flight attendant training. The entire session for the four weeks was a lot of exams. It was a lot of learning even though I came from an aviation background I still learnt stuff that I may have missed in past. So there where a lot of new things for me even though I had experience but, in a nutshell, it was amazing.”

Eager to take to the skies, Layne said, “I’m excited to reconnect with my aviation passion, I’m excited to do what I love doing the most which is being a flight attendant, taking care of my passengers, putting safety first always and most importantly, sharing the Guyanese hospitality with the rest of the Caribbean.

In brief remarks at the simple ceremony, the airlines Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Trevor Sadler, said that the inclusivity of Guyanese in his team is in keeping with the company’s local content promise of ensuring a balanced capacity of Barbadian and Guyanese workers.
