Against the background of claims made by members of the National Air Transport Association (NATA) that the recently renamed Eugene F Correia Airport continued to be dominated by a single company through rigid control of the Board of Ogle Airport Inc (OAI), Public Infrastructure Minister David Patterson used his presentation at the renaming ceremony to underscore the fact that the facility remains a state asset.
In the weeks preceding the renaming of the airport a verbal battle waged continually linked to claims made by NATA that the Ogle facility was in effect being controlled by Trans Guyana Airways CEO and OAI Board Chairman Michael Correia.
