Georgetown : President Donald Ramotar is anticipating a positive outcome from his recent discussions with Vice President of Suriname Airways Clyde Cairo about the airline plying the Georgetown to New York route.

The talks which were held in Port-au-Prince, Haiti on the sidelines of the 24th Inter-Sessional Meeting of Heads of Government of (CARICOM), came in the wake of Delta Airlines announcing its intention to pull out of the Georgetown- New York route as of May, citing reasons the Guyana government deemed irrational.

Cairo, in an invited comment subsequent to the discussion with the Guyanese Head of State was quoted as saying that there are options which the airline will examine in this regard, but that such decisions hinge on discussions at the level of the airline’s board.

Cairo is highly optimistic however, that as early as July “we can begin servicing this route, either non-stop or via another point.”
