Airport aims to be open 24hr by end of February

Striking air traffic controllers returned to work yesterday following the President's promise to meet with them to negotiate a solution to their grievances. The workers started their strike after the Guyanese Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA) refused their demands for a salary increase. The action forced Cheddi Jagan International Airport (SYCJ/GEO) to limit its daily operations to daytime flights only. Officials stated that the airport aims to resume 24-hour operations by the end of February
