With a June month-end deadline fast approaching, Minister of Public Works Juan Edghill yesterday said that construction works on the Cheddi Jagan International Airport (CJIA) are on schedule.
“There will be no extension, we are on schedule. China Harbour will complete its contractual obligation with the government of Guyana based on the addendum made to the contract when we came into office to put in place the superstructure, the curtain wall and the two corridors for additional size aircraft. All of that is on schedule,” Edghill yesterday said on the sidelines of a press briefing at his ministry. He added that work on the superstructure has been completed and currently a local contractor is engaged in retrofitting the area for concessionaires. The superstructure will house approximately 20 concessionary stands.
