Trans Guyana Airways developed out of a need to support a sister company involved in the mining industry of Guyana. Due largely to the limited accessibility to mining areas, the mining company became dependent on air transportation. Thus, in 1956, the founder of Trans Guyana Airways Mr. Manoel Clement Correia purchased his first aircraft. Michael Correia Snr. continued this air transportation development by buying a Britten Norman Islander to further support the operation. Three generations later — today — grandson Michael Correia (jnr) has been a leader in introducing turbine technology to Guyanas private sector aviation community.

Trans Guyana Airways was the first private aircraft owner to introduce the Shorts Skyvan — a twin turboprop aircraft; and the Cessna Grand Caravan in Guyana. In 1997, Trans Guyana Airways Kayman Sankar Aviation merged — a successful venture which brought TGA to the forefront of commercial aviation in Guyana. As Guyana’s leading domestic scheduled carrier, Trans Guyana Airways aims to provide accessibility to remote locations at an affordable cost. Trans Guyana Airways currently owns and operates a fleet of seven aircraft of which six are commercially operated. The fleet consists of: One Shorts Skyvan, two Cessna Grand Caravan; three Britten Norman Islanders and one agricultural aircraft.
