Roraima’s Trislander fleet grounded

The Roraima Airways, Britten-Norman Trislander aircraft after it crash-landed.

The Guyana Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA) has taken a decision to ground Roraima Airways’ fleet of Trislanders as the agency continues to probe the crash-landing on Saturday morning of one of the planes with five persons aboard.

The plane crash-landed in the vicinity of the Haags Bosch landfill facility on the East Bank of Demerara, raising concerns about what might have gone wrong and the extremely close shave for the two crew and three passengers, one of whom sustained injuries.
