After three weeks and no success, the search and rescue operation for the Air Services Limited (ASL) plane with its pilot and worker that went missing somewhere over the jungle in Region Eight has been called off.
This decision was taken after three weeks of efforts, including aerial and ground searches, came up empty, the Guyana Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA) announced yesterday.
Transport Minister Robeson Benn and the Rescue Coordination Centre (RCC) took the decision to end the operation, the GCAA said in statement issued yesterday. While the GCAA detailed the efforts made to find the plane and the men, it made no mention of what will happen next.
On December 28, 2014, the ASL Britten Norman Islander 8R-GHE disappeared while on a routine shuttle operation from Mahdia to Karisparu.
