Maintenance equipment gifted to workshop at aeronautical school
Area Manager Lt. Col (ret’d) Courtney Byrne of BRISTOW Helicopters, which provides aeronautical services in Guyana for the Oil and Gas Industry, last Thursday presented a quantity of maintenance equipment to the George Loy Workshop at the Art Williams and Harry Wendt Aeronautical Engineering School at Ogle, ECD.
The BRISTOW team included pilots Captains Wayne Boodoo and Vishal Boochay and Helicopter Mechanic Donal Carey.
The donation was received by General Manager Nalini Chanderba; Head of Training, Rabindra Ramoutar; and Workshop Manager Rawle Ally.
The company, in a release, said the equipment, valued at $3M, will supplement the school’s current equipment used for practical Aircraft Maintenance Engineering training for its Ab-Initio and Modular Programmes.
Col. Byrne has said that BRISTOW is happy to contribute to capacity building and the positive impact this would create with the youths enrolled in aircraft maintenance engineering, who would be given an opportunity to use industry standard equipment in their training processes.
Chanderban has thanked BRISTOW for the generous donation, and stated that the equipment would greatly assist the school in its practical programme delivery.
