The Guyana Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA) is investigating a minor incident which occurred on Sunday evening at the Eugene Correia International Airport (ECIA), Ogle, when the plane that landed President Irfaan Ali and Barbados Prime Minister Mia Mottley veered off the concrete taxiway, sources say.
Sources told the Stabroek News that the aircraft, a Short SC-7 Skyvan with registration number 8R-GGK, had just landed from Boa Vista, Brazil, and was taxiing on the ECIA’s main runway to the terminal when one of its wheels went off the concrete and on to the grass.
Emergency systems were activated and the President and Prime Minister had to exit at that point and were whisked away by state security personnel.
