All air carriers that operate scheduled or non-scheduled air services in and out of Guyana must regularly submit air transport statistics as part of the Authority’s statistics programme.

The submission of air transport statistics is necessary so that the Authority may monitor the growth and development of Guyana’s aviation sector.  This helps us to inform, develop and monitor aviation policy.

Air Transport Reporting (ATR) Forms

All airlines and operators must submit their air transport data to the Authority using our Air Transport Reporting (ATR) forms.  These ATR forms were designed to facilitate the easy transmission of statistics to the Authority.

The ATR forms were developed using MS Excel so as to be used to submit data electronically.  CLICK HERE for electronic forms.

The completed forms must be submitted to the Authority by email to [email protected].
