Guyana-based operator JAGS Aviation has expanded its fleet with an additional Islander from UK aircraft manufacturer Britten-Norman.

The latest addition to the fleet will support the many services offered by the charter airline, located at Georgetown's Eugene F. Correira International airport, which include sightseeing flights, aerial surveying, freight and critical medevac services.

Briony Tiware, director of JAGS Aviation remarks: “JAGS Aviation Inc, a member of the BK Group of Companies, is pleased to welcome another Britten-Norman aircraft to its growing fleet. This Islander will surely boost the company's ongoing operations and its commitment to making a significant contribution to the developing tourism industry in Guyana.

Over the years, JAGS Aviation Inc. has and will continue to make a significant contribution to the aviation industry by investing in aircraft that cater to the needs of our clients.”

Britten-Norman installed the latest standard avionics including the Garmin G600 TXi, GWX 75 weather radar, and GTN 750 and 650 FMS/GPS/NAV/COM and S-TEC 55X autopilot, all installed as standard on new-build Islander aircraft. All Britten-Norman aircraft are manufactured and refurbished from state-of-the-art facilities in the UK's Solent area.
