Transport between the city and the country’s main port of entry- the Cheddi Jagan International Airport (CJIA) in Timehri – is now possible in just ten minutes.
Guyana’s first luxury aviation service- Air Dash- was introduced by Roraima Airways Monday afternoon.
Air Dash is a premier air transportation group that is aimed at revolutionising corporate air travels in Guyana.
With plans to expand, Air Dash services is currently being offered between Georgetown, Vreed-en-hoop, the gas-to-shore energy project and Essequibo.
Customers will be transported in the Airbus H125 helicopter which can accommodate four persons per trip.
And through a partnership with YDrive Guyana and ANSA McAL, land transportation is provided to clients.
Speaking at the launch, Director of Air Dash, Gerry Gouveia Jr., said as the country continues to develop significantly, the demand to move around faster is high.
So, he said the service is aimed at providing a hassle-free experience to customers while saving time.
“We visualize the service as a way to make life easier here in Guyana.
“Instead of taking an hour or two just to move around the city, we are doing it in just 10 minutes. So we are linking Guyana as we develop this industry,” Gouveia Jr. said.
Air Dash clients will have access to smooth booking, VIP lounge access, customized concierge and a ‘dash pass’ which will allow them to benefit from expedited immigration processing.
“You can land here in Guyana…and whether it’s the day or night we can meet you at the gate, we will take you through an expedited service at the immigration and customs. After you would have collected your bags we will bring you outside to our helicopter and we will fly you down to the city,’ Gouveia Jr. explained.
During their operation, Air Dash has emphasised strict adherence to international civil aviation regulations.
Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of GO-Invest, Dr Peter Ramsaroop in his remarks said as the country develops, investments such as this is encouraged.
“Investments like this is just a start… what the next phase is,” Dr Ramsaroop said.
The helicopter is currently operated by an international pilot.
