Fly All Ways (legally Fly Always N.V.) is a regional airline of Suriname, based in Paramaribo and started operations on January 10, 2016, with the launch of its inaugural flight above Suriname.[1] Its first commercial flight took place on January 22, 2016 to São Luís, capital of the state of Maranhão in Brazil. On February 5, 2016 this was followed by the first charter flight to Barbados.[2] Later in February 2016, the first flights followed to Curaçao and Sint Maarten. In the same month, Guyana granted the new airline the rights to operate scheduled flights to Guyana with connections to Brazil and the Caribbean.[3] Fly All Ways is planning to fly to several cities in both the Caribbean and South America.
Fleet acquisition
Blue Wing Airlines, another Suriname airline, entered into a sales agreement with KLM to acquire two ex-KLM cityhopperFokker 70 jets in early January 2014 and took delivery of PH-KZV (msn 11556) and PH-WXA (11570). PH-KZV was withdrawn from service at Norwich on January 5, 2014, after arriving as KL1515 from Amsterdam. PH-WXA was withdrawn from service at Amsterdam on the morning of March 30, 2014, after arriving as KL1486 from Humberside. The aircraft then positioned Amsterdam – Norwich for maintenance early the same afternoon as KL9955 where both aircraft were being prepared for service. The aircraft were subsequently sold to Fly All Ways, by then a new independent start-up airline offering transport to regional destinations. On November 20, 2014, the first aircraft (PH-WXA) landed at Johan Adolf Pengel International Airport, in the Fly All Ways colours.[4] One month later the second aircraft (PH-KZV) arrived in Suriname. These two are now registered as PZ-TFB and PZ-TFA respectively, in Suriname and stationed at the Johan Adolf Pengel International Airport where a new hangar was built.[5]
Transition from Regular schedule to charter
The airline, which has mainly flown between Suriname, Guyana, and Barbados, suspended its regular flights to reschedule its operations.[6] Although the Suriname base airlines suspend regular flights on January 15, 2017, charter flights are still available. The airline's CEO also said it plans to base the airline in Guyana. However, a confirmed time has not yet been set to restart regular service.[citation needed]
