TIMEHRI - Over 200 kites will be distributed to arriving passengers - especially those travelling with children – at the Cheddi Jagan International Airport (CJIA) over the week-end, April 19 and 20, 2014 as part the airport’s promotional drive to celebrate Easter.
The initiative, organized by the airport Commercial Department, has been a yearly feature for over a decade.
“We are customer service oriented and it is fitting gesture to welcome home visitors and Guyanese citizens,” said Dursatty Doodnauth-Mangru, CJIA’s Commercial and Administration Manager (CAM).
She revealed that a number of companies partner with CJIA to promote the country’s festivals/holidays, while simultaneously marketing their products. These include Edward Beharry, Windsor Estate, DDL among others.
“In relation to distilleries serving rum punch and other concoctions, these beverages are only served to adults. That is the policy of CJIA and the beverage companies - one that we will never compromise,” Mrs. Doodnauth-Mangru emphasized. “These gestures are usually well received by travelers who come here for the festive seasons.”
She added, “Guyana is revered for its world class rum and black cake…and periodically CJIA and its sponsors provide them to passengers.”
Samples of soft drinks and fruit juices are also offered to passengers.
Meanwhile, the Manager, on behalf of CJIA’s management, took the opportunity to wish the staff and passengers a “happy and wonderful Easter”.
