Kurupung, other airstrips need upgrading to avoid events like ‘hard landing’ – Nascimento

The `hard landing’ for a Trans Guyana Airways (TGA) plane at Kurupung Bottom airstrip on Friday is a consequence of the lack of the 100-foot approach to the strip and an equal distance at the other end of it.

This was the response of TGA spokesman Kit Nascimento when contacted by Stabroek News for a comment on the incident.

The hard landing at 12.27 pm at the Region Seven airstrip resulted in damage to the left landing
