Wonderful.
I have no idea what the applicable laws are, or whether we have an open skies agreement, or what rights Suriname has to carry people between the two countries, but something sounds wrong. Makes you wonder if the US owed a little something to Guyana, and this was a little offset for SEA-HND. Unfounded, wild speculation on my part, of course, but how does this happen?
