Minister Prashad said that the regular Delta 758 flight accommodates about 190 passengers, but in the peak season the airline will be using a bigger aircraft, the 767 that can accommodate about 240 persons.
He stated that he is very pleased with Delta Airlines, which provides an excellent service to Guyanese and will cater for the influx of visitors that will be arriving during this period.

Delta Sales Manager Junior Horatio, who was also present, said that since Delta entered the Guyana market in June 2008, it has given tremendous service and enabled Guyanese to travel to any part of the world that they desire. He stated that Delta’s impact on the market has been nothing short of tremendous.
