Avianca Airlines to begin weekly cargo flights between Guyana, Miami

Avianca Airlines will officially commence weekly cargo operations between Guyana and Miami on March 2, in a major boost to the country’s expanding aviation and logistics sector.
The announcement was made by Public Utilities and Aviation minister, Deodat Indar, who revealed that the new services will utilize an Airbus A330-243F aircraft, capable of transporting 65 tonnes of cargo per flight.
According to the minister, the additional capacity comes at a critical time, as Guyana’s international cargo volumes have nearly doubled since 2020, reflecting the country’s rapid economic transformation.
“The commencement of this weekly service by Avianca is a landmark achievement in our mission to modernize Guyana’s aviation and logistics infrastructure. Since 2020, we have overseen a near-doubling of international cargo movement, reflecting the unprecedented transformation of our national economy. As the Minister of Public Utilities and Aviation, my priority is ensuring that our infrastructure keeps pace with this demand,” minister Indar added.
He emphasized that the new 65 tonnes weekly capacity will provide a reliable, high-volume shipping option for commercial goods, agricultural exports and personal shipment.
Indar stated, “This additional 65-tonne weekly capacity is a critical resource for both our business community and private citizens. It provides a reliable, high-volume link for the shipment of commercial goods, agricultural exports, and personal effects.”
The direct link to Miami is expected to strengthen trade ties and provide to the Guyanese exporters, faster access to the international markets. The minister noted that the initiative supports the government’s vision of positioning Guyana on the international map as the Food Basket of the Caribbean, ensuring farmers and manufactures can efficiently move products to global consumers.
