Guyana railway Revival: Coming Back Now with China Involved in Its Construction
Guyana’s national airline could be making a historic comeback after more than two decades. In this video, we explore the rise and fall of Guyana Airways, the massive expansion of Cheddi Jagan International Airport with Chinese involvement, and how Guyana’s oil boom is creating new opportunities for international aviation.
Discover how China helped modernize Guyana’s main airport, why direct flights between Georgetown and major cities like New York and Toronto are becoming more realistic, and what the future could hold for a revived national airline. We also examine the economic opportunities, aviation challenges, tourism growth, and regional competition shaping Guyana’s next chapter.
Whether you’re interested in Guyana’s economy, aviation, infrastructure, China-Caribbean relations, or the country’s remarkable transformation, this video provides an in-depth look at one of the most exciting developments in South America.

About The Author
Your research as to the reason for the dismantling of the railway in Guyana is inaccurate. Guyana decided to abandon the railway because of a war B green the government of Guyana and the owners in the UK who refused to sell their investment in Guyana. Do some more research to discover the truth.
Perhaps some Guyanese will soon realize China is not their enemy and not hold the same hatred for Chinese as I see on line and my own family experienced years ago.
Actually I hope all guyanese would see each other as one ❤
That being said the train would greatly improve Guyana
y
no one will ride the train, if you join at mahaica, you want get of at mon-repos, but the next stop is plaisance, will you jump out a moving train???. this is a tactic to fill their pocket before MOHAMED kick their ass out 2031.

This is the greatest thing I ever heard thinking big Guyana 😂
nice – you hit it ! The trains were a lifeline for the farmers to get their produce to georgetown. Burnham got rid of the trains to prevent the indian farmers from getting their goods to georgetown. If the trains are coming back that would be great. As a schoolboy in Plaisance I used to jump on the train while it was moving to go for a ride with my friends
Great happy memories with that train .love everyday .Hopefully as quickly as they can get it back on track .Canada ❤
This will take +20 years for Guyana railway to become established by.
