The Eugene F. Correia Inter-national Airport (EFCIA) at Ogle yesterday announced that the Airport’s passenger suitcase baggage scanning equipment is now fully operational and in use by passengers.
In a statement, the Airport apologized for the inconvenience caused to passengers whose baggage had to be manually inspected from the scanner not being in operation.
It will be recalled that this equipment was out of operation as a result of being damaged from power fluctuations at the Airport, which have now been rectified.
The Airport thanked the Chief Executive Officer of the Cheddi Jagan International Airport (CJIA), Ramesh Ghir, for having positively responded to a request for a loan of a spare scanner from CJIA.
In the meantime, the statement said that the Airport has been able to obtain the spare parts for the repair of the scanner manufactured in China, with the assistance of the Embassy of China in Guyana.
