Once again the corrupt PPP is avoiding a proper investigation! What about the safety of the plane, passengers, and crew??? Surely an investigation into that is far more important and should come before anything else. Especially since another plane crash landed in the country not so long ago, and also at night. It is quite obvious that landing at night in Guyana is a clear and present danger.

How does Zulfikar knows that there was no danger to anybody? He is covering up. Guyana should be marked on the international register as dangerous place o land at night.

Most likely a frend and fammily affair. Cover ups all over that place.

Why not have two ATC at any given one time, as lives of many are at stake, means when one has to go take a leak, the other will be in attendance or when one needs a sleep, the other will be there.

Nah the Corrupted PPP/C would run the Airport like their family cake shop.

They feel building a new terminal is the answer.

I wonder how much they will pocket as backsheesh due to them?

No wonder the Corrupt PPP/C are scared to appoint the Procurement Committee that the AFC is calling for, it is clear as daylight as it would seems that they want to bleed Guyana of every single penny, if they do appoint that Committee it means many of them will be going to jail.

It's about 10%. That is why they want the projects because 10% of small money is small money. 

And they want eight terminals? If just one plane can't be guaranteed safe landing God help us if more than one plane tries to land. Is where they going to find the calibre of ATC to do that kind of job? In Skeldon?

They can get mentality like Skeldon_Man.

yeah we got smart people in Skeldon. Move the airport to Skeldon.

Smart and successful professional.

You smart and successful? Joke. 

Contrary to what the PPP will have one think plane traffic into GEO is relatively lighyt.  People know when planes are arriving, and have ample time to arrange a leak.

What is more disturbing is the lack of back up if some one falls ill, as happened in this case.  I certainly don't want a distracted person responsible for guiding a plane during dense fog or rainfall.

The 8 jetways is about pure corruption. St Vincent is building an ENTIRE airport from scratch for the same amount.  Given that Chinese are the laborers in Guyana, and will earn ZERO you cant blame labor costs.

This is disturbing to say the least. What cant the PPP do the simple thing right? 

Visiting Guyana is putting your life on the line. If the plane doesn't crash, you're very likely to be robbed and shot and if you get a lil belly wuk rush back to North America.

And if you were to go to any of their hospitals, you are likely to die from the lack of oxygen.

Three Air Traffic Controllers sent off job to facilitate probe

• Monday, 10 March 2014 19:42

Three Air Traffic Controllersd have been removed from duty to facilitate an investigation into why another controller last Saturday night left his post as a Caribbean Airlines flight was preparing to land at the Cheddi Jagan International Airport (CJIA). 

"To facilitate the investigation, three persons have been removed from duty," the Guyana Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA) said in a statement.

Demerara Waves was told they are one senior and two junior Air Traffic Controllers. The senior controller was the one who went upstairs to clear the aircraft to land.

The GCAA said it is expected to submit its findings on the incident to Transport Minister, Robeson Benn "by the end of the week".

The Authority sought to allay fears and concerns by the travelling public by stating that the Caribbean Airlines flight was in "continuous contact and in the control of the Area Control Centre which provided a replacement Air Traffic Controller to ensure the safe landing of the aircraft:"

That appears to confirm an earlier Demerara Waves report that when the Air Traffic Controller left his post at the end of his eight-hour shift because he was unwell, a colleague from another unit that monitors overflights went upstairs to take over 

The Caribbean Airlines flight landed about eight minutes late althoiugh it had departed Piarco International Airport a biut early, an airline official has said.

So there was no ATC on duty and overseeing the safe landing of the plane during the period between when the first ATC left his post,  and the 2nd ATC took over at least several minutes later. That is a dangerous situation and could have caused massive fatalities. This was a night landing. Try landing a plane at night without any guidance from the watch tower. Then tell me it is not dangerous and unsafe.

You and your family live in utopia.

Girl you know de PPP do the big things because dem get wan % cut?

Because they hire their incompetent drunken friends and pay them loads of cash only for the Guyanese people to suffer.
