After six years, Suriname Airways has returned to Guyana and is now offering

President Donald Ramotar and Suriname President Des Bouterse exchange views shortly after the arrival of Flight 737

non-stop flights to Miami.
The inaugural flight arrived yesterday at the Cheddi Jagan International Airport (CJIA) at 10:00 hrs.
On board were Surinamese President and Caribbean Community (CARICOM) Chairperson, Desi Bouterse and a delegation who were welcomed by Guyana’s President, Donald Ramotar, and his delegation.
President Ramotar, moments after the plane touched down on Guyanese soil, stated that history was once more created with the Suriname Airways Flight 737’s arrival at CJIA after many years of absence.
He pointed out that the relationship between Guyana and Suriname continues to grow stronger, while referring to the recent opening of Surinamese insurance company, Assuria, in Guyana.
“Only four days ago I was at a ceremony involving both countries, Suriname’s insurance company in Guyana, the Assuria. This shows that Guyana and Suriname are taking very seriously our commitment towards integration – our countries, economies and integration with CARICOM as a whole. This step of Suriname Airways flying to Guyana and going on to Miami is very important to all of us,” said President Ramotar.
The Head-of-State emphasised the importance of such bilateral agreements, which would help Guyana to further develop as a country and as a CARICOM member.
He said that such an event offers another possibility of developing the tourist industry in Guyana, which Suriname has already been successful in doing.
“Because of our geographical positions, where we are, being Caribbean countries and South American countries, this is another very practical and material step toward having even broader integration of the South… We need more flights directly to our country to encourage the development of tourism, because we have a very good tourist product that we can develop,” said President Ramotar.
He added that with Suriname Airways coming directly to Guyana it offers the country “an easier and faster way” of travelling to Europe, while attracting more European tourists to Guyana.
