Young entrepreneurs join forces to launch national drone delivery service

Three young Guyanese business leaders have signed a landmark Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to establish a national drone-enabled delivery service throughout Guyana.

The agreement, involving GuyDrones, Roraima Airways and Air Dash, was concluded on Saturday during the launch of the “Drone Dash” initiative at the Roraima Airways terminal at the Eugene F. Correia International Airport.

The partnership aims to combine GuyDrones’ unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) capability with Air Dash’s operations and Roraima Airways’ aviation experience to roll out a modern delivery system designed for communities nationwide, including remote hinterland regions.

Chief Investment Officer of Guyana and head of the Guyana Office for Investment, Dr Peter Ramsaroop, said the collaboration signals the innovative direction being driven by young leaders. He said it reflects priorities championed by President Dr. Mohamed Irfaan Ali, who has urged businesses to work jointly to support national development.

“As you consider the President’s vision for expanding new technologies, services, and infrastructure, from upgrading the Brazil connection, the Berbice expansion, and the Wales development to the enhancement of port facilities, this collaboration adds a new layer of transport designed to ensure the faster, smarter, and more reliable movement of essential goods across both coastal and hinterland regions.”

Those attending the launch included GuyDrones Vice President Ershad Mahamad, Air Dash Chief Executive Officer Dennis Dash, Roraima Airways Director Gerald Gouveia Jr., and GuyDrones Country Manager and UAV Pilot Rowan Singh.
