The Civil Aviation Bill of 2017 was passed on Monday night, despite objections from Opposition Chief Whip Gail Teixeira, who requested that it be further deferred to the Special Select Committee for amendments.
The new bill seeks to repeal and replace the Civil Aviation Act Chapter 53:01 and bring Guyana’s aviation law into conformity with primary legislation regulating civil aviation in other parts of the world.
The bill also makes provisions for the enablement of the Chicago Convention and the agreement establishing the Caribbean Aviation Safety and Security Oversight System.
