Chartered air services company, EZJet, has had its operating licences suspended by the United States Department of Transport and by the Guyana Government.
Reports are that Swift Air, owner of the aircraft leased to the charter company airline, has withdrawn its service from the company because of a massive debt.
The company’s Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and founder, Sonny Ramdeo, has been at the centre of a financial scandal which reportedly raised a number of questions about the airline’s operation.
Swift Air filed a complaint against EZjet with the US Department of Transport. The Department late Thursday suspended EZjet’s operations from New York.
Ramdeo had made the decision to step down as the company’s CEO after being sued for allegedly embezzling US$5.4M from his employer, Promise Healthcare.
This state of affairs resulted in a credibility crisis for the airline, which had become popular for offering the public low cost airfares.
In addition to a number of cancelled flights recently, several New York-bound passengers were this morning stranded at the Cheddi Jagan International Airport, a situation which resulted from the revocation of the aircraft service.
Just last week Sunday, Kaieteur News reported that the low-cost charter air service had given notice to the United States Government that it was cancelling 26 flights between New York and Georgetown between October last, and May next year.
EZjet started flying the Guyana/New York route in December before adding Trinidad and Toronto, Canada.
LISTEN HOW JAGDEO WILL MAKE ALL GUYANESE RICH!!!
