With its baggage scanner still out of operation, the management of the Eugene F. Correia International Airport (EFCIA) has formally requested assistance from the Cheddi Jagan International Airport, Public Works Minister Juan Edghill said.
As he responded to questions last week during the consideration of estimates before the Committee of Supply in the National Assembly, Edghill said the EFCIA at Ogle has asked that the CJIA loan it a scanner until their problem is rectified.
“We are not sitting on our hands. There is correspondence from the Eugene F. Correia International Airport to the Cheddi Jagan International Airport of which this minister would have seen, requesting assistance that available assets that are at Timehri be loaned to them to ensure that our national security and our architecture are adequately maintained,” he told the National Assembly.
