With the oil and gas sector about to take off, several international airlines have expressed interest in joining the Guyana market by offering passenger and cargo flights.
Guyana and Qatar have signed an agreement that will see Qatar Airways operating the Guyana route. According to a statement, the agreement was signed by Qatar Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) Chairman Abdulla bin Nasser Turki Al Subaey and Director General of GCAA Egbert Field.
The agreement will permit Qatar’s national carrier Qatar Airways to operate any number of passenger and cargo flights as well as cooperation between the carriers concerned.
It will also permit Qatar Airways to have an operation center in Guyana to fly to any country in the region and other regions as well, according to the statement.
Qatar has already expressed an interest in entering Guyana’s oil market, a move which is expected to bring a number of benefits to the country’s oil sector.
