| The creation of more affordable, efficient and reliable air transport services to Guyana would soon be a reality when Government signs an agreement with the United States of America, enabling liberalisation of the aviation industry.Head of the Presidential Secretariat, Dr. Roger Luncheon, during a post-Cabinet press briefing yesterday related that the Open Skies Agreement provided by the United States applies to the international aviation industry and minimises Governments’ intervention in relation to passengers, cargo, and the combination of air transport- scheduled services, chartered services and also state-based flights.“As you know currently each one of those is tightly regulated by inter-governmental and international agreements.
