Dozens of Dynamic Airways’ passengers scheduled to depart Guyana on Sunday were left stranded after the 767 aircraft suffered a leakage.
This was announced in a statement by local representative for Dynamic International Airways, Captain Gerry Gouveia, of Roraima Group, on Sunday. According to Gouveia, flight 2D 402 out of the Cheddi Jagan International Airport (CJIA), Timehri, bound for the John F Kennedy (JFK) International Airport in New York on Sunday afternoon had to be cancelled owing to a hydraulic leak of the 767 aircraft.
“Dynamic maintenance engineers worked diligently in an effort to correct the problem, but were unable to complete their task before nightfall, forcing the cancellation of the flight,” the local representative explained.
Nevertheless, Gouveia noted that the 150 passengers were being offered transportation vouchers to get home and return to the airport today afternoon. Meanwhile, passengers from remote areas are being offered hotel accommodation and meals.
The local Dynamic representative added that the airline would be sending another aircraft to Guyana this morning to facilitate the departure of affected passengers this afternoon.
The company regrets any inconvenience which this 24-hour delay has caused its passengers.
Moreover, Gouveia noted that this was the first cancellation for 2017 of a Dynamic International Airways flight serving the Guyana route. The airline has come under heavy criticism since its operations here began with a long list of disruptions in flights which left passengers stranded for hours both at the CJIA and JFK Airport.
In fact, back in December, Dynamic Airways was ordered to submit a report to the Guyana Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA) for the regulation entity to consider the most effective way forward giving its history of disruptions.
