Report on theft from aircraft handed over

The report by the inter-agency taskforce into the theft from a private jet at the Cheddi Jagan International Airport, Timehri last month was yesterday handed over to Minister of Public Works, Juan Edghill.

Earlier this month, the minister had informed that government had set up an inter-agency taskforce to investigate and provide recommendations, following the incident for which a man has already confessed and been jailed.

In a Ministry of Public Works release yesterday, Edghill said the report presents a holistic view and evaluation of the airport’s security operations with the sole intention of improving these systems.
