Commerce minister Manniram Prashad said he plans to meet local airline providers soon to discuss misleading advertisements which state fares without taxes, and other matters. According to a Government Information Agency (GINA) press release Prashad said he is displeased at recent reports from the travelling public about the poor service provided by some airline carriers.
The minister also advised airlines to publish both the fares and taxes in their advertisements as to do less amounts to dishonest practice.
Additionally, Prashad said he was concerned about the high cost of tickets even during the non-peak season and even as the price of jet fuel has gone down. The minister said he will address these issues with local carriers in order to curb unpleasant experiences for citizens and tourists travelling to and from Guyana.
