Following a recommendation from the Guyana Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA), the Cheddi Jagan International Airport (CJIA) will remain closed until May 1. This is also expected to apply to the Eugene F Correia International Airport at Ogle.
In an email to the Minister of Public Infrastructure David Patterson, GCAA notes that the lessons learnt during the initial 14-day closure as well as the prevailing regional and global situation support a proposal that the closure be extended for 30 days after its expiration.
The directive is set to expire today April 1.
