As of June 30th, China Harbour and Engineering Corporation (CHEC) has completed all major works at the Cheddi Jagan International Airport (CJIA), where an expansion project has been underway for almost a decade.

The completion of the major works puts the project in the “practical completion” stage, Public Works Minister, Juan Edghill, who holds responsibility for the aviation sector, said during a tour of the facility on Thursday.

“I am happy that today, June 30th, my project engineers have indicated to me that we can offer practical completion certificates and we can get on with this.”
