The airline was established by Guyanese sisters Chandramatie Harpaul and Ramashree Singh[2] to replace the defunct Guyana Airways in 2001.
Operations started on December 13, 2001, with a Boeing 767-300ER leased from LOT Polish Airlines non-stop from New York City to Georgetown.

BWIA West Indies Airways assisted stranded passengers during that time.
