Georgetown: Delta Airlines issues a statement today saying that their departure from the Guyana market was because of a significant decline in passenger loads combined with loss of revenues.
Sarah Lora, Delta’s General Manager, Corporate Communications, Latin American and Caribbean, stated that “Delta Air Lines will close its station in Georgetown, Guyana, discontinuing flights between the John F. Kennedy International Airport and the Cheddi Jagan International Airport.”
This will be effective from May 6, 2013, due to poor performance of the route.
Although Delta would prefer to continue serving the market, the statement noted that flights between Georgetown and New York’s JFK International Airport has experienced a decline in passenger loads and revenues for the past 18 months, leading to unsustainable losses.
The airline noted that it will proactively contact customers booked on the Georgetown to JFK flights after May 6, 2013, who have provided full contact information in their reservations to arrange alternate transportation or full refunds. Customers, the statement added, can contact Delta Reservations at 1-800-241-4141 while customers calling directly from Guyana can do so on 1-800-221-1212.
