New Surinam Airways flight to Miami boosts Guyana market

The Guyana market will see a major capacity boost in April when the small South American country receives only its fourth international carrier, Surinam Airways. The flag carrier of neighbouring Suriname will link Guyana's Georgetown with Suriname's Paramaribo and, more importantly, Miami. The Miami-Georgetown service, which will begin on 02-Apr-2012, will be the first service connecting the two cities non-stop in over a decade.

Surinam Airways' new Miami-Georgetown flights will operate twice weekly on Tuesdays and Saturdays with Boeing 737-300s. Flights will then continue onto the carrier's main base, Paramaribo's Johan Adolf Pengel International Airport.
