The Aircraft Owners’ Association of Guyana has raised concerns over the Guyana Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA) Board’s operations, saying it appeared to be confused about its role.
In a letter, dated March 10, 2022 and addressed to Public Works Minister Juan Edghill, President of the Association Gerry Gouviea Jr also said that a decision by the Board not to renew the contract of the industry’s Head of the Safety Programme, Col. (Ret’d) Cargill Kyte, has resulted in significantly delayed authorisations.
By the way of the letter, which was leaked on social media, the Association sought a meeting with Edghill towards discuss the issues. However, when contacted yesterday, Minister Edghill said that he has not received a letter from the Aircraft Owners’ Association of Guyana and therefore could not comment on the contents therein. “I did not receive a letter from the Aircraft Owners’ Association and I have no comments about that. If the Aircraft Owners’ Association wants to engage me then they cannot do so by posting on Facebook,” the minister said before disconnecting the call.
