Approximately six to eight requests for flights to transport oil and gas sector workers into Guyana by ExxonMobil have been granted approval by the National COVID-19 Task Force, according to Guyana Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA) Director General Egbert Field.
Approximately 70 passengers arrived on a British Airways 787-8 Dreamliner yesterday at the Cheddi Jagan International Airport (CJIA) with workers from ExxonMobil and companies offering support services. A flight also departed with workers on the same plane.
Field yesterday told Stabroek News that his agency checks off the paperwork, including certification and compliance, before recommending approval.
