Ogle Airport Incorporated (OAI) yesterday said it is in the process of replacing a defective baggage scanner at the EFCIA.
In a statement, OAI said that the x-ray scanner is made in China and the global supply chain problems have made it difficult to obtain spares. As a result, the E.F. Correia International Airport (EFCIA) is in the process of replacing it with an (American made) RAPISCAN Scanner, also used at the Cheddi Jagan International Airport, Timehri.
OAI was responding to a letter in the Kaieteur News on January 11th authored by John Taylor, sections of which were used in a news item in yesterday’s Stabroek News entitled `EFCIA baggage scanner has not worked for eight months’.
