Surinam Airways to Link Georgetown with Miami

Posted 09/01/2012

Surinam Airways is to introduce a new connection linking Georgetown, the capital city of Guyana with Surinam’s own capital, Paramaribo, and Miami International in the US.  The twice weekly service will operate on the Paramaribo – Georgetown – Miami – Georgetown – Paramaribo routing from April 3, 2012 and will be flown using a Boeing 737-300.

State-owned Surinam Airways already offers flights to Miami from Johan Adolf Pengel International Airport in Paramaribo on a three times weekly basis via Aruba and these will continue to operate alongside the new twice weekly rotation via Georgetown’s Cheddi Jagan International Airport.  An estimated 35,000 O&D passengers travelled between Paramaribo and Miami in the past year and Surinam Airways currently has just a 52 per cent share of this traffic. 

There are already limited links between Georgetown and the US – Delta Air Lines and start-up EZ Jet offer flights to New York while Caribbean Airlines has links to both New York and Miami, the latter a market of around 26,000 O&D passengers a year and which has grown at a rate of 15.3 per cent over the past year.
