On April 2, JetBlue will begin nonstop service between New
York's John F. Kennedy International Airport and Guyana's capital city
Georgetown on JetBlue's new Airbus A321neo aircraft. Guyana's public
infrastructure minister David Patterson said the service comes as the nation sees
"continued and sustainable growth in several sectors of our economy,
including service, tourism, mining and oil and gas." American Airlines,
currently the only U.S. carrier with service between the U.S. and Georgetown,
began flights between Miami and Georgetown last year and will start a
JFK-Georgetown route on Dec. 18. Guyana will be the fourth South American
country in JetBlue's network, following Colombia, Ecuador and Peru.
