Officials of the Government met and held discussions today with officials from KLM Airlines as the company gets set to begin its schedule operations to Guyana in June.
The KLM team included its Regional Manager Dirk Buitelaar, the Country Sales Manager for Suriname and Guyana Nalini Kanhai, and Sales Manager for Aruba, Bonaire and Curaçao, Danilo De Freytas.
According to the Department of Public Information, the discussions focused on finalizing the framework for KLM’s operations locally including regulatory compliance, infrastructural requirements, and market strategies.
Minister Edghill welcomed the airline’s expansion, highlighting its potential to boost tourism, trade, and economic growth.
He believes it will provide more travel options for passengers flying between Guyana and Europe.
KLM’s entry into the Guyanese market will also align with the government’s efforts to enhance international connectivity, particularly with Europe.
The airline is expected to operate through the Cheddi Jagan International Airport (CJIA).
With the new service, passengers travelling to and from Guyana will have greater access to KLM’s extensive global network. This includes key destinations in Europe, Asia, and the Americas.
The new service, along with the recent addition of several international carriers, has significantly improved the country’s connectivity, DPI said.
