As government yesterday expressed optimism that the Cheddi Jagan International Airport expansion project will be completed for the December 31 deadline as works are on track, it also announced that Chinese contractor China Harbour Engineering Company (CHEC) has already completed 90 per cent of outstanding issues it agreed to remedy last December.
“The information I have received is that we are ninety per cent there, as of March 19, 2021, which represents significant movement,” Minister of Public Works Juan Edghill yesterday told reporters during a tour and assessment of the ongoing works.
“We anticipate that we will be able to make the December 31st 2021 deadline,” he added while informing that he had met last week with the vice-president of CHEC.
