The Guyana Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA), with backing from the government, is looking to regulate ground handling operations in the country due to increasing air traffic.

This was disclosed yesterday by Deputy Director of the GCAA Artie Heeralall during the official opening of the 15th Annual General Meeting (AGM) of the Caribbean Aviation Handlers’ Association (CAHA).

Heeralall noted that while Guyana would have had a low level of aviation activity in the past, there were no efforts to regulate services, such as ground handling operations.
