The Aircraft Owners Association of Guyana (AOAG) has proposed a $1.5B rehabilitation programme for hinterland airstrips over the next three years, which would see runway extensions to accommodate larger carriers and the maintenance of the landing areas.
The AOAG has been lobbying for the improvement of airstrips in the hinterland and has raised the issue during meetings with President Donald Ramotar and Finance Minister Ashni Singh.
The group has since proposed to government the three-year programme to kickstart the rehabilitation of airstrips, including the extension of the ones at Matthews Ridge, Kaieteur Falls, Baramita, Lethem,
