Government is looking to embrace a public/private approach as it seeks to encourage more air traffic to these parts, a move which comes in wake of plans by Delta Airlines to depart the local skies.Delta Airlines in a statement earlier this year cited a significant decline in passenger loads and by extension loss of revenues as the primary reason for its departure. The company’s General Manager, Sarah Lora, in the statement said that “Delta Airlines will close its station in Georgetown, Guyana, discontinuing flights between the John F. Kennedy International Airport and the Cheddi Jagan International Airport.”This move which was described as a “difficult decision” is expected to take effect from May 6, 2013,Cheap Jerseys Store, thereby allowing the airline to better focus its resources on profitable markets, said Lora.At a press conference at the People’s Progressive Party, Robb Street, Georgetown,Wholesale Jerseys Free Shipping, headquarters,Cheap NFL Jerseys Wholesale, yesterday Minister with responsibility for Tourism, Industry and Commerce,Cheap Jerseys Free Shipping, Irfaan Ali, said that Guyana was a very important market to Delta Airlines. “It was operating at an approximately 89 per cent load factor.
