The Cheddi Jagan International Airport (CJIA) has said it lost $1.4 billion in revenues over the last six months, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which has caused a 95% drop in passenger traffic.
In a statement issued on Friday, the CJIA said the recent reopening of the country to commercial air traffic is expected to see passenger arrivals double over the next month as several carriers, including Caribbean Airlines, American Airlines, and COPA Airlines, have applied and have been approved to resume commercial flight operations.
