Dynamic Airways will honour voucher

-

Dear Editor, I am absolutely frustrated and depressed over the heartless and callous treatment meted out to me by Dynamic Airways.

On March 22, 2016 I excitedly went to CJIA to board my flight 200402 to New York with Dynamic Internatio­nal Airways only to be told when the time for departure was far gone that due to mechanical issues the flight would leave at five o’ clock the following morning. I was flabbergas­ted since I had to board a connecting flight from La Guardia Airport NY, to Atlanta, which was my ultimate destinatio­n.

After raising my concerns with the Dynamic Airways staff at the airport I along with others was offered a voucher in the sum of US$800 for any Dynamic Internatio­nal Airways round trip, to be used within the year from the issue date. The expiry date of this offer is March 22, 2017. I contacted the local representa­tive of this airline in order to avail myself of the voucher issued to me and enquire when I could go ahead and travel. However, I was shocked to be told that the airline was no longer honouring this written promise. I have in my possession a letter issued by Dynamic Airways showing that I have been offered a US$800 voucher. Why isn’t this airline not honouring its promises to customers? Due to the delay last year I missed my connecting flight to Atlanta and was tremendous­ly inconvenie­nced, in addition I was forced to fork out money which was not budgeted for out of my limited funds to pay for a new connecting flight.

Why is this airline that was allowed to operate in Guyana and profit from Guyanese treating us with such disdain?

A Dynamic Airways representa­tive said that I could not take them to court because the letter did not have a signature.

Editor, I hope that the management of Dynamic Airways can promptly rectify this situation. Yours faithfully, Karen Bishop
