The Guyana Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA) has delayed the phased opening of the Cheddi Jagan International Airport.
The airport was scheduled to reopen Wednesday to international commercial flights.
However, in a statement, the GCAA said it consulted with the Ministry of Public Health and made adjustments to its reopening plan.
Egbert Field, Director-General of the GCAA, said the Authority and the National COVID-19 Task Force considered the health of Guyanese and the nation as a top priority and that triggered the delay in the reopening plan.
Phase Two, which is expected to allow additional repatriation and commercial flights, will now commence on August 1.
