KINGSTON - A substantive Director General (DG) for the Guyana Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA) will be named subsequent to the reconfiguration and reintroduction of the GCAA’s Board, announced Annette Ferguson, Minister within the Ministry of Public Infrastructure at a recent press conference.
Chaitrani Heeralall, the Authority’s Air Navigation Services Director, is acting in the position for the past three and a half months.
“The appointment of members to the agencies’ Boards, under the Ministry of Public Infrastructure, should be publicized in early October. Nominees were already submitted by the respective agencies,” Hon. Ferguson told reporters.
Identifying a DG will be on top of the list for the new GCAA board, the Minister added.
“And one of the pressing issues to be addressed by the appointed DG will be the appointment of Air Traffic Controllers, who made submissions about lack of appointments over the past eight years,” Minister Ferguson indicated.
Four internal applicants were interviewed for the post; however the appointment was stalled due to the dissolution of the Board.
