Transguyana Airways
The History of Trans Guyana Airways Ltd may be viewed in
several phases.
In 1951, Mr. Manoel.C. Correia met and sponsored a Czech named Mr. Jose
Tesarik with shops in Orinduik and Maikwak. Soon, Tesarik was requesting
an aircraft of his own to supply the shops with requisite commodities. So in
1952, with the help of a British firm called A & P Triefus & Company, Mr.
Tesarik went to England and purchased a Cessna - 172. This arrangement
between M.C. Correia and Mr. Tesarik lasted for five (5) years.
In 1959, Mr. Correia met and sponsored a Polish gentleman named George
Golas, to prospect for diamonds in the Chitigokeng and Kamarang areas, a
fleet of three aircraft were acquired for this project, a Cessna - 180, 172 and
an Ireland Wasp, which worked well at first but proved too distracting for
Mr. Correia, whose main focus was diamonds. He decided to sell his share of
the business to Mr. Golas.
In the late 1960s, Mr. Michael O. Correia Snr, the son of M.C. Correia,
formed M.C. Correia Holdings Ltd and modernised the fleet of aircraft with
the introduction of the Britten Norman Islander and Cessna 206 in support of
the growing gold and diamond mining industries. This expanded fleet also
included a Hughes helicopter, an Amphibian Cessna 185, and a Cessna 337,
better known as a Push - Pull.
Mr. Michael O. Correia Jnr further modernised the fleet of aircraft in the
1980's and 1990's. He introduced Guyana's first privately owned turbine
engine aircraft, the venerable Shorts SC-7 Skyvan. Three (3) years later in
November 1996, the Cessna 208B Grand Caravan was added to the fleet.
Today, Trans Guyana Airways Ltd remains at the forefront of private sector
aviation development in Guyana. It is currently the leading domestic
scheduled carrier, and it continues to work closely with Government and
regulatory agencies. Trans Guyana Airways Ltd owns and operates 7
Aircraft, we have 4 turbine Aircraft, Cessna Grand Caravans, and 3 piston
