COVID-19 Task Force greenlights phased reopening of Guyana airports

(Department of Public Information) The National COVID-19 Task Force has set into motion a blueprint for the 4-stage phased reopening of the country’s airports to international travel.

This was disclosed by Director General of the Guyana Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA) Lt. Col. Egbert Field.

At a webinar hosted on Monday by the GCAA, the aviation body submitted the blueprint to 48 local, regional and international stakeholders.

“They [the stakeholders] were able to make some very valuable contributions that we will be looking it, not only now but in the future to see how we can take aviation into the post-COVID-19 period,” the Director-General told DPI.

DG Field was adamant the reopening of the airports must not be rushed. To that effect, the GCAA head stated that critical planning, as outlined by Phase 1 of the blueprint, is essential to the airports’ resuming international travel.
