KINGSTON, Jamaica — Caribbean Airlines will introduce daily non-stop flights between Toronto and Georgetown, Guyana, from July 1, increasing capacity on a route supported by growing business, leisure and family travel.

The airline said the expanded schedule would give passengers more flexibility during the peak summer travel period while strengthening links between Guyana and Canada.

Guyana is one of Caribbean Airlines’ most important and fastest-growing markets, according to acting chief executive officer Varma Khillawan.

“The introduction of daily Toronto to Georgetown flights reflects our commitment to meeting customer demand and strengthening connectivity between Guyana and North America,” Khillawan said.

He added that the service would accommodate passengers travelling for business, leisure, education and family visits.

The route is also expected to support travel by members of the Guyanese diaspora in Canada and facilitate tourism, trade and other economic activity between the two countries.

Under the new schedule, flight BW616 will leave Georgetown for Toronto at 9:20 am daily. The return flight, BW617, will depart Toronto for Georgetown at 4:50 pm.

Tickets are available through the Caribbean Airlines website, mobile application, reservations centre, ticket offices and travel agents.
