Sky High Aviation Services will launch three weekly flights connecting the Dominican Republic with Guyana, beginning February 18, 2024.
The new routes, operated by an Embraer 190 with 97 seats (9 Business Class, 88 Economy Class), will offer seamless connections between Santo Domingo’s Las Américas International Airport (SDQ) and Guyana’s Cheddi Jagan International Airport (CJIA).
A release from the CJIA Corporation said that this enhanced connectivity is expected to boost tourism, trade and investment between the two countries.
“We are thrilled to welcome Sky High Aviation Services to Guyana’s aviation landscape,” stated Juan Edghill, Minister of Public Works. He added, “This new route aligns with our vision of fostering regional integration and creating a robust air transportation network. We are confident it will significantly contribute to increased tourism, trade, and investment, further propelling Guyana’s development.”
Sanjeev Datadin, Chairman of the CJIA Board of Directors, echoed the Minister’s enthusiasm: “The addition of Sky High Aviation Services to CJIA’s portfolio of airlines demonstrates the growing confidence in Guyana’s aviation industry. This new route will provide passengers with more travel options, create employment opportunities, and stimulate economic activity within the region.”
