Dynamic International Airways and the Guyanese-owned Roraima Airways are teaming up to convert the Cheddi Jagan International Airport a hub for flights to South American countries and the United States.

Chief Executive Officer of Roraima Airways, Capt. Gerry Gouveia made the announcement at the unveiling of a Guyana 50th Independence Anniversary logo on a Dynamic Airways aircraft at New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport.

“We are going to make Timehri International Airport the hub to feed traffic out of New York into Trinidad, Suriname, Boa Vista and Puerto Ordaz (in Venezuela), using that international airport that the IDB said cannot be used as a hub; we will make it into a hub,” he said. Gouveia boasted that Dynamic Airways has been registering 95 percent on-time departures and almost 90 percent load factors.

Later questioned by Demerara Waves Online News, Gouveia explained that Dynamic would sell tickets from the United States for tickets to Suriname, Trinidad, Venezuela and Brazil. “With an inter-line arrangement that we are developing in Guyana, when the aircraft arrives at Timehri the passengers for Boa Vista (Brazil), the passengers for Suriname will come off that plane. While Guyanese passengers go home, they will board another flight and then they will fan-out into the neighbouring countries, using Timehri as the connecting hub back into North America,” he said. He said InselAir would next month offer the connections to Boa Vista next month from the Dutch Caribbean.

In the case of Suriname, he said Roraima Airways would fly passengers aboard its recently acquired Trislander to and from Zorg-en-Hoop airport in Suriname to connect to flights in Guyana.

Chief Operating Officer of Dynamic Airways, Karen Klaus told Demerara Waves Online News said her carrier would be assigning more aircraft to partner with Roraima Airways “to feed into all those othr cities.”

Guyana’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations (UN), Ambassador George Talbot, in his remarks, highlighted the significant engagement by Guyana at the UN and Guyanese internationally.

“Guyaa’s engagement has been official but also through the actions of its citizens and as a result, one might say that Guyana is arguably home to one of the most internationally mobile populations in the world and on a per capita basis maybe having one of the largest diasporas internationally,” he said.

Talbot noted that there are at least 140,000 Guyanese living in New York.

Most of the Guyanese that I know refuse to set foot on Dynamic.

Any way why does Gouveia think that a Trini will fly some unknown charter airline to Guyana, to then jump on another unknown puddle jumper to POS, when BW and JetBlue have a total of 4 DAILY NONSTOP flights?  And pay MORE for the privilege of doing so, given that DY doesn't exactly offer cheap fares.

Travel to the other points mentioned will be too insignificant  to call GEO a hub.

POS had 11 departures between 6AM and 9 AM this morning, and that doesn't include departures to Tobago.  GEO will have only 7 departures ALL DAY!  So in THREE hours there was more traffic out of POS than GEO had ALL DAY!

Folks should stop dreaming that GEO will ever be a hub.

It could become a hub as technically it is in the optimal location at the equator for dispersion to all other parts of SA. However bigger airline players needs to be involved so I doubt that it will come to fruition.

Quit that nonsense.  GEO will not be a hub and an IDB report explained why.

Stop that PPP nonsense, as they justified massive corruption connected to the building of an airport way bigger than what Guyana needs.

Dynamic Airlines has developed a poor reputation ever since its  launch.

I remembered on the first flight.

I had 2 attorneys on the flight and they were offered $200 comp.

 

They refuse to ever use this airline.

One of its jet blew up in Fort Lauderdale.

 

Lets go One Guyana Travel as of May 21st

It was the PPP idea to make CJIA a hub by extending and modernising Guyana's gateway. The colored people will failed as copycats. They only know how to prostitute themselves with taxpayers money.

This is what the IDB stated, but this does not mean that with effort by the big players that it still would not be possible.

As a result of low origin and destination (O&D) passenger traffic, it was asserted that “for this reason, the possibility of developing a hub at this point in time, at either Georgetown or Paramaribo is difficult. In the foreseeable future, airlines could not develop a viable business by connecting other cities through either one of these two capitals, since the O&D volume is very low.”

The "colored" people made a good decision to reduce the size of the building because Guyana will NEVER be a hub.  In fact its a sign of PPP idiocy to think that this would ever happen.

Are you still arguing that GEO will be a hub?

The IDB gave you all the reasons why GEO cannot be one.

Get to know Sao Paulo, and learn what a hub is, or Panama City.  Those are what hubs are.

As it is Gouveia chatted nonsense. No one is going to fly to Trinidad via GEO.   Suriname is almost totally oriented to Holland.  And how many people will connect via Puerto Ordaz, or Boa Vista?

You cannot get a hub with just 20 passengers connecting.

The population knows fully well how lonely GEO is most of the day.  Once the morning rush hour is over GEO is a very empty place, with only an occasional plane landing.

And the morning rush hour is 2 CAL planes, plus maybe one other.
