TIMEHRI - The owners of businesses that line the access road en route to the Cheddi Jagan International Airport Corporation’s departure/drop off area have vowed to work along with management to tackle noise nuisance; garbage pileups and illegal parking.
Administration and Operations Officer, Dwayne Butters and Assistant Supervisor of Aviation Security Terry Thomas engage several owners on ways and means to address the issues last week.
“Help us so that we can help you,” Mr. Butters appealed to owners.
He informed them that vehicles, especially on Friday evenings, are parked haphazardly in the ‘no parking zone’ which creates a “traffic nightmare” for departing passengers.
“What we also found is that each shop would play music and they all want to outplay each other…so you could imagine the noise level,” Mr. Butters told owners.
Furthermore, the Admin and Operations Officer cautioned them to remove any garbage from their respective establishment as often as possible. Failure to comply, he added, could result in hefty penalties imposed. “In addition to that, we want to reduce the dog population in and around the airport.”
To ensure that these issues are adhered to, the CJIAC will implement a system whereby security personnel will patrol the area periodically to maintain order, Mr. Thomas disclosed.
The owners were also given contact numbers for airport personnel to make reports. Currently, 12 businesses are in operation.
