President David Granger flew to the Bahamas by chartered airplane because it was all around more feasible and resulted in money being injected into a local company, Communications Director of the Ministry of the Presidency Mark Archer says.
Last month, Granger made a state visit to The Bahamas, as part of what he called an economic mission, and he met with Prime Minister Perry Christie and officials of his government as well as members of the Guyanese diaspora.
He and an entourage used a Trans Guyana Beechcraft to fly to The Bahamas for the three-day visit.
When contacted, Archer told Stabroek News that the details of the charter would be provided.
