TRAVELSPAN, in collaboration with Vision Airline, has announced the addition of a second aircraft to service its Guyana route.
The Boeing 767/300 aircraft will support the extra flights that the airline has added for July and August, in keeping with the airline’s objective of building a reliable air service for the people of Guyana.
Members of the media were afforded opportunity to tour the new aircraft when it landed at the Cheddi Jagan International Airport on Saturday. This Boeing 767/300 aircraft, which will operate the New York to Georgetown route, will allow for a more spacious interior and extra legroom for passengers. Its business class has a 30-seat configuration with full reclining bed seats, and there are 191 economy class seats.
The airline currently offers a wide body 767/200 aircraft for its nonstop service between Georgetown and New York.
TravelSpan currently flies to New York on Tuesdays & Saturdays, but the airline will increase its flights for July and August, when it will fly from Tuesday thru Sunday. The company also has flights scheduled for Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Saturdays to & from Port of Spain in Trinidad & Tobago for July & August.
In July and August, Travelspan will also offer, on Tuesdays, all-inclusive vacation packages at 4-, 5- and 6-star hotels in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic.
TravelSpan Incorporated was set to begin direct flights between New York and Guyana from December 14th, 2013, after being cleared by the US Department of Transport.
The airline was established in April 2006, and began operating in Guyana shortly after being granted licences to provide regional and international services.
Travelspan Guyana is a sister company of the existing Travelspan Inc. which operates charter services between Port of Spain in Trinidad and Tobago and North America.
