New Guyana Airways aiming for takeoff within 90 days

Yuh sound excited bai. Big exclamation marks an suh. Truth be told, i love the idea and i really hope this one float unlike Guyana Airways and GA 2000 that went belly up.

Good luck to Colin Abrams. 

Ugli will say dem can't even run a cake shop and dem want fuh run wan airline.

On the heels of the crash of Fly Jamaica which is owned by a Guyanese. Trusting a brand new airline, GAC will have to work hard to develop that trust. It is not cheap to run an airline. 

"As it relates to flight destinations, Abrams said once the airline becomes operational, it will be offering direct flights to Havana, Cuba, using two Boeing 737s, which will be leased.

He added that the company plans to then move to offer flights to Trinidad, Barbados and the US, with the last being its ultimate goal."

Looks like targeting Cuba first.

Dr Colin Abrams

Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the newly formed Guyana Airways has complained of the burdens of doing business in Guyana.

Dr Colin Abrams, a returning Guyanese, says he has been discouraged thousands of times during his attempts to set up the company here.

He made the remarks at a press conference hosted at his Barrack Street Office, one day afterthe airline won a court case against the State, effectively receiving the go-ahead to brand the company as “Guyana Airways Corporation Inc.”

Though relieved and ecstatic that he has won the case, Dr Abrams bemoaned the challenges he endured in setting up the airline.

“There is not a lot in Guyana to encourage businesses to invest in Guyana,” he stated.

“You have Go-Invest, they go out to the Diaspora… and they encourage Guyanese to come back in Guyana to invest. But when you do come back to invest, you get to the realization that “oh my god, I have to pay almost a million dollars in taxes”.”

Dr Abrams’ company, which aims to become Guyana’s national air carrier, faced major setbacks after it was unregistered by the Deeds and Commercial Registry when it was found that the name is “identical” to another company, which is Guyana Airways 2000 – the country’s previous national air carrier.

Kudos for Mr Colin to speak out, Church’s Chicken CEO speaks out against the government. 

The Afro Business owners are speaking out and is not afraid the government will sabotage their business.. good for them . I hope Indians do the same. 

To scratch the surface with senior government official is $5 million G. to start a business. 

When Indians spoke out about corruption under the PPP the are labeled traitors!  It is good to see him speak out.  It’s not like Guyana is that great beaming business opportunity!

Traitors - that’s because PPP executives have a problem with constructive criticisms.. hopefully, hopefully lessons were learned.

guyana don’t have the population for business. The businesses  going to Guyana are hoping to get something from the oil profit and I have no idea how they can, unless you get into construction to benefit from the infrastructure. And government has no plans in place for infrastructure. 

Consumer products : if guyanese knows only of Hunts ketchup ( just using this product as example) you cannot sell them Heinz ketchup.

What nonsense.  So all the business people in Guyana, going back decades to now and a figment of one imagination.   Suddenly it’s all about oil, as if Guyana never existed prior!

Going back decades -  businesses were surviving from the sugar estates workers. 

Do you know how businesses used to survive during out of crop season. 

Name one successful industry in Guyana currently. ( except illegal drugs ) 

I see baseman beat django to the punch here, dat bai must be losing he touch. 

Don't see this airline as a serious competitor. Not sure how deep their pockets are, but if they only start out with Cuba, this indicates limited capital.  Meaning that they are 1st after the low hanging fruits, sort of like a dollar store owner claiming to open a Target eventually.

Going back decades, apart from sugar, don't you wish Guyana had rice, bauxite, timber, fisheries, gold, etc.  Just imagine if we had those others to support our secondary manufacturing and commercial sector?
