Alternative aircraft fly passengers out of Port Kaituma

Trans Guyana Airways was yesterday forced to arrange an alternative aircraft to fly passengers out of Port Kaituma after a kite string became entangled in the propeller of the aircraft that took passengers in.
The Caravan was in operation for SkyWest, which operates a service to the mining community. SkyWest declined knowledge of the incident. A woman who identified herself only as Susanne said that she was in charge and that she didn’t care about the information this newspaper had received about the incident.
She even hung up the phone twice.
However, Trans Guyana confirmed that the aircraft in question remained at Port Kaituma yesterday as engineers checked it.
Nicole Correia, a senior executive at Trans Guyana said that the pilot, Captain Ramotar, noticed the string entangled in the propeller while heading into Port Kaituma. She said that there was no issue or accident as a result and none of the passengers were affected in any way.
However, the Captain requested “as a precautionary measure” that engineers from the company carry out thorough checks when the plane landed.
As a result, another aircraft was sent to pick up passengers from Port Kaituma.
