The Guyana Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA) yesterday issued a helideck licence for the ExxonMobil Floating Production, Storage and Offloading (FPSO) vessel Liza Destiny, which arrived in Guyana last week.

Director General of the GCAA Lieutenant Colonel (ret’d) Egbert Field handed over the licence, the first to be issued, to Mathieu Guiraud, Country Manager of TLC Guyana Inc, during a simple presentation ceremony held yesterday morning in the GCAA’s boardroom.

During brief remarks, Field said the main purpose of the helideck is to accommodate helicopters flying from shore to the vessels at the production site.
