BK’s airline adds aircraft to boost domestic travel

JAGS Aviation, owned by businessman Brian Tiwarie, has announced the acquisition of a state-of-the-art four-blade Cessna Grand Caravan EX aircraft.

In a statement, the company said the newly acquired Grand Caravan EX is designed to serve a wide range of passengers, including tourists eager to explore Guyana’s natural wonders, mining companies requiring reliable transport for personnel and equipment, and residents of remote communities who depend on consistent access to essential services.

The aircraft is expected to begin operations within a few weeks, following the completion of necessary regulatory procedures.

“This acquisition reflects our unwavering confidence in the growing Guyanese economy and our commitment to improving connectivity across the nation. It will serve approximately 20 routes including Kamarang, Matthew’s Ridge, Port Kaituma, Bemechi, Kaieteur, Lethem, Iwokrama, Jaguar, Kato, Kurukubaru, Karasabai, and Paramakatoi, among others,” said Brian Tiwarie Snr, Executive Chairman of JAGS Aviation.

The company said the aircraft offers several environmental benefits, such as reduced noise pollution, improved fuel efficiency, enhanced climb performance, increased payload capacity, and compatibility with sustainable aviation fuels.

“We are eager to begin operations and will be sharing further updates with the public very soon,” Tiwarie Snr added.

Looking ahead, JAGS Aviation envisions expanding its services beyond charter operations into scheduled airline services.
