GCAA safety programme head rehired as Airworthiness Inspector

Weeks after the decision by the board of the Guyana Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA) not to renew the contract of Head of the Safety Programme Col (Ret’d) Cargill Kyte came to light, Board Chairman Javed Shadick has related that Kyte has been rehired as an Airworthiness Inspector.

In a March 10, 2022 letter addressed to Public Works Minister Juan Edghill, President of the Aircraft Owners’ Association Gerry Gouveia Jr stated that a decision by the board not to renew the contract of the Kyte has resulted in significantly delayed authorisations. It was the first time the board’s decision was made public and the GCAA, as well as the ministry, had remained silent.

Yesterday, during a brief telephone interview with Stabroek News, Shadick said that Kyte was offered a contract as an Airworthi-ness Inspector and he accepted it. He added that the board offered Kyte the post one day after his contract expired.
