JAGS Aviation, a leading aviation company in Guyana, has acquired a new four-blade Cessna Grand Caravan EX aircraft, expanding its fleet to enhance connectivity for various groups, while demonstrating confidence in Guyana’s growing economy. This addition will benefit tourists seeking to explore the natural beauty of Guyana, mining companies needing efficient transport for personnel and equipment, and residents of remote communities who require reliable access to essential services and opportunities.
The new Grand Caravan EX, which recently arrived in Guyana, is expected to be in service within a few weeks, pending the completion of all necessary paperwork.
“This acquisition reflects our unwavering confidence in the growing Guyanese economy and our commitment to improving connectivity across the nation. It will serve approximately 20 routes, including Kamarang, Matthew’s Ridge, Port Kaituma, Bemechi, Kaieteur, Lethem, Iwokrama, Jaguar, Kato, Kurukubaru, Karasabai, and Paramakatoi, among others,” said Brian Tiwarie Snr, Executive Chairman of JAGS Aviation.
According to the manufacturer’s description of the Grand Caravan EX, it is known for its dependable and efficient performance by regional airlines, charter operators, and cargo carriers worldwide.
Some of the key features of the Grand Caravan EX are that it can carry 14 occupants, including the pilot; and it is designed to offer several environmental advantages that contribute to its overall sustainability and reduced ecological impact. These include reduced noise pollution, improved fuel efficiency, enhanced climb performance, increased payload capacity, and compatibility with sustainable aviation fuels. These factors collectively contribute to operational effectiveness and align with the company’s broader goal of helping to reduce environmental impact. JAGS is the only airline utilising this modern, eco-friendly aircraft in Guyana.
“We are eager to begin operations and will be sharing further updates with the public very soon,” Tiwarie Snr concluded.
Ultimately, the company’s vision is to expand its services beyond charter operations into scheduled airline services, reflecting a strategic move to diversify the BK Group’s investments, which is the parent company for Jags Aviation.
This initiative is expected to significantly contribute to Guyana’s tourism, mining, and other sectors, reinforcing the company’s commitment to quality service and operational excellence
