Another significant linkup in the Caribbean has taken off with the start  of direct flights between Guyana and Grenada.

The inaugural flight took to the air on Sunday, connecting Maurice Bishop International Airport in Grenada with Cheddi Jagan International Airport in Georgetown, Guyana. This new route will operate two times a week.
