The Lusignan heliport, which aims to provide the oil and gas industry with helicopter services, is set for launch in October and would be able to accommodate as many as 20 choppers at a time.
A dedicated road will also be built from the heliport to the Lusignan public road so as to facilitate all traffic for the 48-acre facility. Orinduik Development Inc is also set to commence operations in October for Guyana’s first helicopter underwater escape training (HUET) and Basic Offshore Safety Induction and Emergency Training (BOSIET) certification.
“What we will do is build a road from here, which will run where those palm plants [coconut trees] are all the way to the main access road. In that way, it will be a dedicated road for operations and it will not interfere with the residents,” Director of Operations Kevin Dalgarno said on Friday during a tour of the facility.
