The Eteringbang incident

The Guyana Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA) is currently investigating two interior airstrip accidents which occurred last month, its Director General, Colonel Egbert Field says.

“They are now being investigated. The investigations for both; the one from Kamarang and the other at Eteringbang are being conducted by the Accidents Investigations Unit,” the agency head told Stabroek News yesterday when asked for an update.

The first incident occurred on the 14th July on the Eteringbang runway in Region Seven when a Cessna Caravan, belonging to Jags Aviation of the BK Group of Companies, ran off the runway in Region Seven.
