GCAA delays opening of Cheddi Jagan International Airport

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.
