Yesterday was a landmark moment in Caribbean travel as InterCaribbean Airways launched its inaugural direct flight connecting Guyana and Grenada. The new service, which will operate twice a week, promises to strengthen regional ties and provide a convenient air link between the two Caricom member states.
The flights will operate every Thursday and Sunday, with departure from Grenada’s Maurice Bishop International Airport at 12:20 pm, arriving at the Cheddi Jagan International Airport in Guyana at 1:50 pm. Return flights will leave Guyana at 2:35 pm and touch down in Grenada at 4:10 pm.
The inaugural ceremony was attended by Minister of Mobilization, Implementation and Transformation of Grenada Andy Williams, Director of the Guyana Tourism Authority Kamrul Baksh, Chief Executive Officer of InterCaribbean Airways Trevor Sadler, and CEO of the Grenada Tourism Authority Petra Roach, among others.
