LEADING international aircraft manufacturer, Bombardier Incorporated, is in talks with the Guyana Government on starting a national flag carrier for Guyana, the Government Information Agency (GINA) reported yesterday.
It said President Bharrat Jagdeo yesterday met representatives of the Canadian company to discuss the establishment of a national flag carrier by next year. The proposed plan, the agency said, includes financing and part-management of the new airline by the Canadian-based parent company, Bombardier Aerospace.
Among those at the State House meeting were Bombardier’s Director of American Sales, Ross Gray and Chief Executive Officer of the proposed new company, Air Guyana, Tulsi Ram Issurdatt. According to GINA, Gray said “We are prepared to provide all the private enterprise equipment and support necessary for the firm’s establishment and operations.”
The agency said he expressed confidence in Guyana’s potential and described the venture as one with “tremendous opportunities”.
Bombardier Incorporated’s Bombardier Aerospace subsidiary is the world's #3 maker of civil aircraft behind Boeing and Airbus; the #1 regional aircraft maker (Canadair, de Havilland), ahead of Embraer; and one of the two largest makers of business jets (Challenger, Learjet), just behind Gulfstream.
Hope may be on the horizon. This is wonderful news to us.
Start small and grow...not as some people do...start big and go bust !!!
Challenge the existing market and establish sound routes (or roots) then grow.
THEN BARBADOS CAN SHOVE THEIR US$30 TRANSIT TAX !!!
