PASSENGERS travelling to the United States of America (USA) from Guyana are no longer required to depart the aircraft in Jamaica to be examined by the Jamaican Immigration and Customs, a statement from Fly Jamaica said on Saturday.“Please be advised that the north-bound passengers from Guyana to JFK, NY, no longer have to deplane and go through Jamaica Immigration and Customs.”
According to the airline, passengers can now remain on board “on the south-bound journey” following recent approvals from the USA’s Transportation Security Admission (TSA) and the Jamaican Civil Aviation Authority. Fly Jamaica is the only airline that transports passengers from Guyana to the USA with stops in Jamaica.
