Stranded Cuban nationals begin returning home

Some of the stranded Cuban Nationals outside of the airport’s terminal yesterday midday.

A decision to temporarily grant Honduran airline Easy Sky permission to operate in local airspace has been made by the Guyana Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA), allowing Cuban nationals who were stranded at the Cheddi Jagan International Airport (CJIA) over the past few days to return home.

The decision follows a directive given last Thursday by the GCAA to suspend the airline’s operations in light of several safety concerns.

This, resulted in an estimated 433 Cuban passengers being stranded at the CJIA over the weekend and into Monday.
