Ogle airport renaming to coincide with Jubilee celebrations

The Ogle International Airport (OIA) will be renamed the Eugene F Correia International

Airport (EFCIA) and plans are under way for the unveiling of the name to coincide with Guyana’s 50th independence anniversary celebrations.

However, this decision still does not rest well with some airport operators who had objected to the suggestion made by President David Granger last year.

The President had said that he believed if the airport was renamed EFCIA, it would be paying tribute to the late veteran aviator.
