The PPP didn't divest it. THEY SHUT IT DOWN. GAC owed so much money that they didn't pay for the lease and the plane was repossessed plus the owed landing fees all over the place.
In fact GAC was such a tragedy under the PPP that Curacao barred it from flying there for safety considerations. This because the planes were always breaking down. When GAC collapsed there were many stranded Guyanese, who never received a refund of their fares or compensation for having to buy new tickets on BWIA.
Now I find it interesting that you and the rest of your cohort called Fly Jamaica the "PNC airline" when they don't own it. And you referred to one of the recent Guyanese owned fly by nights as an AFC airline.
Your double standards can fool you and the rest of your Indo KKK cohorts, but there are actually intelligent people on GNI. so it doesn't work.
It is a good thing you don't post everyday bai. You would be very tired with all the stuff you make up. It must be only in your mind that when GAC went bankrupt nearly a decade after Hoyte was no longer President, travel was still picking up because of the Hoyte reforms. If Hoyte's reforms were so instrumental to Guyanese lives, why didn't he win the elections held in 1997 and 2001? Why did he have to resort to his slo fiah, mo fiah mantra after being a sore loser?
So what else in your comment above is also made up?
Hoyte was voted out in 1992 and GAC collapsed in 1999. Its pure PPP idiocy to blame the PNC for its collapse when they had over 6 years to turn it around. And yes the end of Guylines, thanks to Hoyte liberalizing the economy led to more overseas based Guyanese returning home on visits.
GA 2000 replaced GAC in late 1999 and collapsed in early 2001.
Hoyte's reforms began around 1989. The Burnhamist faction led by Greene and Viola Burnham had the upper hand within the PNC and so blocked the moderate element led by Hoyte. When the WB and the IMF said reform or else Hoyte was able to implement his reforms.
Even an Indo KKK idiot like you will know that these reforms did two things. Guyana's decline ended and the country began to see significant growth. Secondly your communist Janet was blocked for turning Guyana into a Cuba. If Burnham's idiocy was still intact that is exactly what she would have done. In fact the PPP until recently was still screaming that it was a Marxist Leninist party.
If Jagdeo/Ramotar was so great why did the PPP lose the majority of the votes in 2011 and lost entirely in 2015?
You also know fully well that elections in Guyana are a mere exercise in ethnic voting. Its the drastic drop in the Indian voting age population from over 50% in 1992 down to around 45% by 2015 that made it easier to beat the PPP. If Guyana had an African/mixed voting age majority the PPP would have definitely lost the 2001 elections and most likely the 1997 elections as well. Likely they wouldn't have lost the 1992 elections either.
And yes Hoyte left Guysuco in better shape in 1992 than the PPP left it in 2015. Production in 1992 was HIGHER than it was in 2014, despite the massive investment by the PPP into the Skeldon factory.
You are entitled to your opinions but your Indo KKK lies will be rebutted once I am posting on GNI.
