The Grenada Tourism Authority has announced the launch of a new non-stop flight service connecting Grenada and Georgetown, Guyana, via interCaribbean Airways.
The new connection is scheduled to happen twice-weekly — on Thursdays and Sundays.
CEO of the Grenada Tourism Authority, Petra Roach says she is thrilled for the new connection.
“The Caribbean, as a major source market, represents immense potential, and this new strategic route with interCaribbean Airways is a deliberate step toward unlocking that opportunity. For too long, we’ve overlooked the value within our region, but this connection allows us to change that narrative,” she said.
Roach sees this new opportunity as a chance to market both islands.
“The shared airtime between Grenada and Guyana offers a unique chance to promote two-destination holidays, showcasing the distinct offerings of both nations,” she said in a statement.
Meantime, Trevor Sadler, CEO of interCaribbean, expressed, sees this new non-stop service between both countries, as “transformative for regional connectivity.”
“We’re bridging cultures, fostering trade, and opening new possibilities for tourism and business,” he said.
The interCaribbean CEO said this “convenience of non-stop flights will save travelers precious time and make journeys between these destinations more accessible.”
He says the airline is committed to a more connected Caribbean and South America (Guyana). “This route is a further step in that direction.”
Grenada’s Minister for Mobilization, Implementation, and Transformation Andy Williams and Kamrul Baksh, Director of the Guyana Tourism Authority also underscored the importance of the new service.
To celebrate this milestone, a five-day familiarization (FAM) trip designed to immerse media professionals of both countries in each other’s cultures, experiences, and attractions was held.
