The Venezuelan state-owned airline, Conviasa, will be increasing its flights to and from Guyana, Presidential Advisor on Governance Gail Teixeira said.
Speaking at a post-Cabinet briefing last Friday, at the Office of the President in Georgetown, Teixeira disclosed that Cabinet has approved the airline’s request to upgrade its non-scheduled air services on the Puerto Ordaz-Georgetown-Puerto Ordaz routes.
The non-scheduled flights are to occur twice a week to Guyana, arrangements for which will be worked out by the Guyana Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA), the Presidential Advisor said.
The airline began flights to and from Guyana at the end of 2013, with a once weekly flight between Georgetown and Puerto Ordaz.
The Venezuelan airline on November 24, 2013 made its inaugural flight at the Cheddi Jagan International Airport (CJIA), Timehri, starting a direct service from Puerto Ordaz to Georgetown, Guyana.
The airline, located at the Simón Bolívar International Airport in Venezuela is the largest airline in that country, operating services to domestic destinations and to destinations in the Caribbean and South America.
