The Guyana Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA) has made significant progress in its safety oversight functions, according to a release from the Ministry of Public Works.
The Ministry made this disclosure following a report from the Regional Aviation Safety Group for the Pan America’s Executive Steering Committee meeting, held last week. A presentation of the newly developed safety dashboard was made by GCAA as a follow up on the Regional Safety Plan Objectives and Guyana received the highest Safety Oversight Index for its robust safety oversight capabilities when compared to all the States in the South American, Latin American, Caribbean and North American Regions. According to ICAO’s Global Aviation Safety Plan (GASP) Key Concepts and Metrics, the safety oversight index of a state is an indicator of its safety oversight capabilities.
