Management officials at the Eugene F. Correia International Airport at Ogle, ECD have said they are pleased to announce that the Airport’s passenger suitcase baggage-scanning equipment is again fully operational, and is in use by passengers travelling through the Airport.
They have said they sincerely apologise for the inconvenience caused to passengers, whose baggage had to be manually inspected because the scanner was not in operation.
They reminded that this baggage-scanning equipment became inoperable after having sustained damage through power fluctuation at the Airport, but they said that situation has now been rectified.
The Airport Management officials have voiced their appreciation and gratitude to the Chief Executive Officer of the Cheddi Jagan International Airport (CJIA), Mr. Ramesh Ghir, for having positively responded to a request for a loan of a spare scanner from CJIA.
With assistance of the Embassy of China in Guyana, the Ogle Airport has been able to obtain the spare parts needed to repair its scanner, manufactured in China.
