Only the manifest can tell you that. For security reasons they dont release that info to the public unless it's an actual disaster.
And this is the airline that The money pinching Guyanese travellers were eager to travel with.

Boeing 767 is a reliable aircraft,watch out all will be
grounded for checks.
Foreign matter on the runway, that was not discovered quick enough, could have also caused this engine problem.
Little objects on the runway could cause severe engine damage.
The plane behind this one reported seeing fuel pouring from the plane wing ...then engine explode and caught fire.
This is the first thread that get this much responses for this poster in weeks. I would advise you to bring news away from Guyana.
Many Indians have been flying on dynamic. I wonder if this is the work of the overseas authors looking to punish PPP supporters?
The latest news indicated that some passengers suffer burns, one severly.

Did they ever fix the problem with your Dynamic Godey?
Is it still oozing....
Dis Dynanic was leaking fuel.
I guess the Guyana Civil Aviation Authority has no position yet on this airline!
What is Jerry's spin on this?
The honorable thing to do would be to own up to your mea culpa. You made an assertion that blew up in your face (pardon the pun).
I doan recall reading it as "blown up" but "burst into flames" but we's Guyanese so we could also say " De plane buss up" samething.
Where's the link maybe we're getting it from a diff paper banna. Unless my ole rass blind.,,oh yeh me an young gurlfren JG.

Dynamic jet caught ablaze at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood Int. Airport
October 29, 2015
DYNAMIC International Airways flight 405 today caught fire at the Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport moments before departure to Caracas, Venezuela.As reported by NBC South Florida news, âthe fire occurred on Dynamic Airways flight 405, which was scheduled to depart at 12:30 hours to Caracas, Venezuelaâ. Reports further indicated that multiple crews responded to the fire and doused it. One passenger was seen being carried out on a stretcher. Further, the South Florida news highlighted that the FAA officials said the Boeing 767 caught fire while taxiing for departure. âAn aircraft that was behind it reported that fuel was leaking from the plane before the fire started.â Passengers evacuated the plane by sliding onto the runway, officials said. It is unknown how many passengers were on the plane. The airline is headquartered in Greensboro, North Carolina. It began operating flights from Fort Lauderdale to Caracas in July.
Meanwhile, Guyanaâs Dynamic International Airways Personal Relations officer, Gerry Gouveia via social media said he was saddened by the incident.
âI am saddened by the breaking news of the engine fire on one of the aircraft during taxi.â
He added: âI am told the cabin crew did a splendid job during the evacuation; and investigations are currently underway.â
Dynamic plane catches fire on takeoff at Florida airport, 15 hurt
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., (Reuters) â An engine on a passenger jet bound for Caracas, Venezuela, burst into flames while taxiing for takeoff at a Florida airport today, forcing frightened passengers to exit the plane using inflatable emergency slides.
Fifteen people were injured, including one with serious burn wounds, as 101 passengers and crew evacuated the Dynamic International Airwaysâ Boeing 767-200ER within minutes of the pilots realizing there was a problem. Dynamic also flies to Guyana.
Television images showed the plane surrounded by white foam and firefightersâ trucks in Fort Lauderdale, its left engine badly charred.
The 29-year-old aircraft was leaking fuel before departure, the Federal Aviation Administration said, and its crew was warned about the leak by a jet taxiing behind it.
In video shot by a passenger on another plane, towering clouds of thick gray smoke could be seen billowing from the Dynamic flight before the blaze was extinguished. (Video: http://reut.rs/1P8bvzk)

Most of the injuries were bumps and bruises, Michael Jachles, a spokesman for the Broward Sheriffâs Office, told reporters.
One child was among those being treated at Broward Health Medical Center, a hospital spokeswoman said.
It was not immediately clear what might have happened if the plane had taken off with fuel still leaking.
Luis Campana, a 71-year-old rancher, was traveling to Venezuelaâs Guarico state with his wife and sister.
âIt was a real scare,â Campana told Reuters at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport. He said he had been sitting near the front of the plane as the pilot put the thrust on to taxi up the runway.
âThe engine exploded. As we were getting out of the plane down the chute, the smoke was beginning to enter and the engine was in flames,â he said.
Campana said he did not see any injured people.
CNN broadcast what it said was flight crew audio recorded as those on the Venezuela-bound jet were warned of the danger.
âHey, yeah, Dynamic, the left engine looks like itâs leaking, I donât know, a lot of fuel. There is fluid leaking out of the left engine,â a voice can be heard saying.
âUh, yes sir. We copy. Weâll probably need to go back to the â a ramp,â someone responds.
âEngineâs on fire! Engineâs on fire!â says another voice. âWeâre calling the fire engine right now.â
âA LOT OF SMOKEâ
Officials got a call at 12:34 p.m. EDT (1634 GMT) that Dynamic Airways flight 405 experienced a left engine fire while taxiing on one of the airportâs two runways.
Passengers had been completely evacuated by 12:37 p.m., Jachles told a news conference.
The airport reopened about three hours later.
Natalia Vargas, 50, said her 75-year-old mother phoned her from the plane and said there had been two strong explosions.
âThere was a lot of smoke,â said Vargas, who lives in Miami and is originally from Venezuela. âEveryone was very nervous, but everyone was off the plane quickly,â she said.
The National Transportation Safety Board is sending four people to Fort Lauderdale to investigate the fire, the agency said.
Greensboro, North Carolina-based Dynamic said in a statement that the crew became aware of an engine problem while taxiing for departure.
The carrier said on its website that it has operated wide-body aircraft since 2009 and would investigate the fire.
The plane was powered by Pratt & Whitney JT9D engines, said Sara Banda, a spokeswoman from Pratt & Whitney, a unit of United Technologies Corp.
Boeing Co said in a statement it is providing technical assistance to the NTSB investigation.
Dynamicâs 767-200ER was built in 1986, and only seven such planes of that age or older remain in service out of 65 built, according to Collateral Verifications, an aircraft appraisal firm.
Oh rant baie, I gaffa let JG know dat she blind.
The article I read doan have half that shows in yours, what da heck, hehe
Where you got that headline from - The Enquirer? Every report I read said that the engine caught fire - nothing exploded - nothing blown up! No sabotage. No conspiracy.
Many Indians have been flying on dynamic. I wonder if this is the work of the overseas authors looking to punish PPP supporters?
US carrier, headed to Venezuela. What the hell does that have to do with Guyana?
Concerns:
The safety record of Dynamic Airways?
Is it the same type of Aircraft flying the JFK-GEO route?

Our Fleet
Dynamic currently operates a fleet of Boeing 767-200/300 aircraft.
(How many of the 767-200ER old planes still in operation make up Dynamic Fleet -MAYBE ALL 7)
The Boeing 767 is a long-range, wide-body twin-engine jet airliner capable of carrying between 181 and 290 passengers, making it an excellent choice for tour operations, regional and international air service.
Dynamic has operated wide-body aircraft since 2009,backed by our highly trained and experienced professionals to ensure you have a safe and comfortable flight.(Passengers complain of Piss & Shit and non-functioning Bathrooms, Filty/Dirty Interiors, Bugs & Insects.....and now Gas Flowing from Engine on take off)

Boeing has finally withdrawn the 767-200ER and the 767-400ER from its product offering, as per the latest aircraft pricing table update from Boeing earlier this week. The aircraft can no longer be ordered by airlines, though if an airline places a large enough order, Boeing would still be able to build the 767-200ER or the 767-400ER for them.
The second variant in the 767 family, the 767-200ER was launched in 1982, less than a year after its shorter range cousin, the 767-200 entered service with United Airlines. The first order was placed by Ethiopian Airlines, for two frames, on December 16th, 1982. The type entered service with El Al Israel Airlines in 1984. Over its production life-cycle, 121 767-200ERs were ordered and delivered to 31 different customers, including the Japanese and Italian air forces. The last order for the type occurred in June 2005 (the Japanese air force), while the last airline to order the 767-200ER was Kazakhstan Airlines in December 2000, with an order for one frame. American Airlines was the largest single operator of the 767-200ER, with a peak sub-fleet of 17 frames. American still has 12 767-200ERs in its fleet, which it uses on premium trans-continental routes from New York to Los Angeles/San Francisco. However, these aircraft will be soon retired, leaving US Airways as the largest operator of the 767-200ER with 10 aircraft in its fleet. US Airwaysâ 767-200ERs are not scheduled to be fully retired until 2017. A full list of 767-200ER orders can be seen in the table below (click for a larger view).
Meanwhile, the 767-400ER was much more of an oddball aircraft. Initially designed as a replacement for the shorter haul Douglas DC-10 and Lockheed L1011 tri-jets, the type was launched with orders for 37 aircraft split between Delta Air Lines (21 frames) and Continental Airlines (16 frames). The type was intended to compete against rival Airbusâ A330-200, which entered service in 1998, but has failed to do so. The A330-200 has won 577 orders since its entry into service (EIS), while the 767-400ER only won those 37 orders back in 1997 (though one test-bed aircraft was later sold as a VIP transport).
Despite the elimination of two variants from its offering, the 767 program is far from dead at Boeing. As recently as three years ago, the 767 family looked to be in its dying moments. Orders had slowed to a trickle (mostly top-up orders for the 767-300ER from carriers looking for interim lift in the wake of 767 delays), and like its cousin the 757 (which had been launched at the same point in the early 1980s), the 767 production line(s) appeared destined for conversion and retooling for the 737. But in February of 2011, Boeing won a contract from the US Department of Defense for 179 KC-46A tankers (replacing 179 of 416 KC-135 tankers), a product based on the 767-200ER, for use in aerial refueling by the United States Air Force (USAF). The deal, worth more than $35 billion, breathed new life into the 767 program. In the time since the tanker contract was awarded to Boeing, 64 767s have been sold, primarily 46 767-300Fs to FedEx.
These sales have occurred primarily because Boeing needs to keep the production line of the 767 open until the first 18 KC-46As are delivered to the USAF from 2017 onwards. Boeing is also looking into exporting KC-46As to other nations to help fill in the production gaps. Interestingly, Boeing is also offering a commercial (cargo) version of the KC-46A called the 767-2CFX, which is about 6 feet longer than the 767-200ER. Even as the 767-200ER and the 767-400ER were dropped in the latest pricing update, the 767-2CFX was added to the list, though no specific details have yet been released for the type (including price). There are currently four orders for the 767-2CFX.
The table below displays Boeingâs most recent aircraft pricing list with the prices quoted in millions of US dollars. Iâve added the 777X family (777-8 and 777-9) to the list as well. While these aircraft have not been formally launched, after todayâs order for 34 777-9 aircraft from Lufthansa, the type is guaranteed to launch, perhaps as soon as this yearâs Dubai Air Show.
I guess the Guyana Civil Aviation Authority has no position yet on this airline!
