Investigations continue re Caribbean Airlines/Fly Jamaica mishap at Cheddi Jagan International
Investigations are still ongoing in respect of the recent accident at Cheddi Jagan International Airport in Guyana where an incoming Caribbean Airlines plane clipped the tail of a parked Fly Jamaica aircraft.
Lieutenant Colonel Egbert Field, who is in charge of Guyana’s Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA), says the Accident Investigation Group is proceeding with the probe.
Colonel Field disclosed that a report will be submitted to Guyana’s Junior Public Infrastructure Minister, Annette Ferguson.
The GCAA Director-General said his office was no longer closely linked to the probe since the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) recommended the investigating body be moved from the Aviation Authority to the direct responsibility of the minister responsible for aviation.
The incident took place last month when CAL flight BW527 arrived from New York while the Fly Jamaica plane was being prepared for boarding.
The CAL flight hit the tail of the Fly Jamaica plane.
