All of the Aubrey Williams murals at the Cheddi Jagan International Airport will be preserved and included in the design and décor when the new and expanded $150 million airport expansion project is completed, Minister of Public Infrastructure David Patterson announced yesterday.

Stabroek News had reported in early March of this year it seemed that the project had apparently not taken into consideration the preservation of the murals.

This newspaper was told that it was only after concerns were raised by persons, including staff at the airport that the National Trust was called in for meetings on the way forward.
