Guyana working with Jamaica to establish new airline







Guyanese aviator, Ronald Reece, says he is working with counterparts in Jamaica to set up a new airline.
The new airline is to be called Fly Jamaica, and will start operating flights from Jamaica to New York and Toronto, Canada, with connections to Guyana as well.
Fly Jamaica Airways did not give a start date for the operation, but says it will be within the coming months.

Once its all private funding, go right ahead and good luck!

Not another cent of taxpayer money needs to go in any airline.

Why the name Fly Jamaica? The name Guyana is that soiled?!?

[TDowl]

Don't hurt yourself LOL

[Reggaedoc]

Very soiled in the Airline business. I know a group of IndoGuyanese from New York that started an airline co. and it failed miserably. I hope they can do a better job this time around.

Guyana has next to zero brand recognition internationally...Jamaica has mucho

Simple

Except El Dorado rum and Demarara sugar two best products in the world of Rumsfeld and gourmet sugar.

[Don1]

Ok...but how many would associate those products with Guyana apart from Guyanese or a few Caribbean people? How many would even know of Guyana?

That's the branding problem

[Reggaedoc]

Not really. In fact Caribbean people and Guyanese are the least likely. These products are not sold in Guyana or the Caribbean. It's only recently that Sandals signed an exclusive deal to be the only place to carry El Dorado in the Caribbean. A bottle of El Dorado 27 year old can run you almost $1000.00 US. People who know good stuff know about these items.

I'm not saying those are not a good products. I'm saying that to brand something Guyana this or that would have little market impact on its own.

Guyana just doesn't have a strong brand profile

[Mosiah]

...not since the Jonestown Massacre!

I'm not saying those are not a good products.e
