Several executives from Trinidad-owned Caribbean Airlines Limited (CAL) has committed to expanding services in Guyana.
The promise was made yesterday when the team paid a courtesy call on Minister of State, Joseph Harmon. The visiting team included Chief Executive Officer, Michael DiLollo; Head of Corporate Communications, Dionne Ligoure; Vice President of Commercial Operations and Customer Service, George Reeleder; Area Manager, South America, Roy Ferguson, and Sales Executive, Guyana and Suriname, Dion Inniss.
According to Harmon, despite challenges, CAL has been providing “invaluable service” to Guyana.
The Minister took the opportunity to point out to the group that Guyana in 2016 will celebrate 50 years as an independent nation. This, he said, “will involve many Guyanese from the diaspora coming home to be part of the celebrations”, and leading to challenges in air travel.
The minister added that expansion of the Cheddi Jagan International Airport is continuing. This will allow for bigger planes and better services to be offered.
DiLollo explained that the air carrier’s operation in Guyana has recorded an “increase in on-time performance”, an achievement the company is proud of.
The official also revealed that changes have been made locally thus allowing for 40 persons to be employed here. This move, he believes, came about because of the company’s commitment to Guyana.
“He reassured Minister Harmon that CAL is committed to, and will make arrangements to facilitate and accommodate the demands of 2016 which is expected to be a peak year of travel to Guyana.”
He noted, too, that the CAL customer service focus and on-board services will change for the better.
The CAL network allows flights to London, New York, Toronto and around the Caribbean.
The Guyana market has been one of the biggest for CAL.
