Days after announcing that the use of the Passenger Boarding Bridges at the Cheddi Jagan International Airport (CJIA), Timehri has been temporarily suspended, no clear explanation has been offered as to why this is so.
The notice of the suspension of the use of the air bridges was made by the Ministry of Public Infrastructure (MoPI) last week.
Stabroek News yesterday reached out to the Ministry through its Public Relations Officer Krest Cummings for clarification and an update but she was unable to provide any information. At the time, she said, she was out of the office and this newspaper would have to reach out to her at a later date for answers to the questions.
Yesterday, Chief Executive Officer of the CJIA Ramesh Ghir said all questions on the suspension of the use of the air bridges would have to be directed to the MoPI’s project officer. He stated that the ministry is overlooking the project and all information needed would have to be provided through the ministry.
MoPI last week said in a press release that this scheduled suspension is required to facilitate the execution of other works of the Airport Expansion Project. The release did not state what the extent of the work is.
“We sincerely apologise for this temporary inconvenience and would like to assure you that works will be done within the shortest time possible,” the release said.
