Georgetown : The Ministry of Tourism is moving to have three large airline companies WestJet, Air Canada, and Jet Blue to invest in Guyana
WestJet is the second-largest Canadian air carrier, behind Air Canada, offering scheduled service to 81 destinations in Central and North America, and the Caribbean. It operates a fleet of 99 Boeing Next-Generation 737 aircraft. WestJet in November last launched a daily, non-stop service between Toronto and Port of Spain.
JetBlue on the other hand is an American airline.
Tourism Minister (ag) Irfaan Ali told the media that the Ministry has been in discussions with the Canadian High Commissioner to Guyana who is trying to facilitate meetings with Air Canada and WestJet.
Both of the latter can provide a valuable service as there is a large Guyanese community living in Canada.
Among the airlines servicing Guyana are Caribbean Airlines, Delta Airlines, LIAT and Suriname Airways.
