GCAA reviewing American Airlines report on aborted flight

Inspectors from the Guyana Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA) on Friday visited the runway of the Cheddi Jagan International Airport (CJIA) to gain a firsthand understanding of what transpired during the aborted takeoff of American Airlines (AA) flight 1512 on Wednesday.

Director General of the GCAA Egbert Fields told Stabroek News that investigators from the regulatory agency made the visit to the airport to assess the situation. He said that investigators will be looking at the issue holistically and will compile a report after concluding their investigation.

AA has since submitted a report to the GCAA on the incident and investigators are currently reviewing it.
