Engineers are currently conducting a comprehensive examination of the two Britten-Norman Islanders acquired by government for the Guyana Defence Force (GDF), according to Minister of State Joseph Harmon.
Responding to a question during a post-Cabinet press briefing last Friday, Harmon said the inspection has delayed the use of the aircraft but he has assured that within “a short space of time they will be up and flying.”
Earlier this year, the National Assembly approved $484.2 million in extra budgetary funds to facilitate the acquisition of the two reconditioned planes along with two Skyvans.
