Georgetown: Georgetown: Government Thursday announced that it has granted Caribbean Airlines Limited (CAL) flag carrier status.
Cabinet Secretary Dr Roger Luncheon said that the recommendation was made by the Guyana Civil Aviation Authority.
Government made this announcement twice, the first being December last.
Dr Luncheon said this move will allow the Trinidad airline to fly directly between New York and Georgetown and the Toronto, Canada route.
Guyana’s decision regarding CAL will now be communicated to aviation authorities in the US and Canada.
Government has also signaled intentions to be careful in its checks over new airlines, ensuring that there is a mandatory cash deposit to cover refunds in the case of problems.
