Fly All Ways Airlines (8W, Paramaribo International) has plans for scheduled flights to the United States, expanding its current network focused on South and Central America and the Caribbean, a regulatory filing reveals.
The privately-owned Surinamese carrier has applied to the US Department of Transportation (DOT) for a two-year exemption authority to operate scheduled flights ferrying people, property, and mail from points behind Suriname, via Suriname and intermediate points, to any point/s in the US and beyond to the full extent permitted by the open skies agreement between the US and Suriname.
Details of routes, aircraft to be used, or timelines were not disclosed.
Fly All Ways already has a US foreign air carrier permit to operate charter flights to the US as granted by the DOT in 2021.
The airline is 100% owned by Chief Executive Officer Amichand Jhauw, who did not immediately respond to a request from ch-aviation for more information on the US plans.
The airline's air operator's certificate (AOC) covers three in-house 80-seater F70s: PZ-TFA (msn 11556), PZ-TFB (msn 11570), and PZ-TFC (msn 11579). It also wet leases a DHC-6-400, HB-LUX (msn 845), from Zimex Aviation (XM, Zurich) for a passenger charter contract with French petroleum firm Total for flights between Suriname and French Guiana; and an A320-200, 9H-VDS (msn 1757), from galistair (Malta) (8S, Malta International) for the period June 15, 2022, to May 17, 2023.
