Port Kaituma plane crash-landing…Investigating team returns to site today

Aug 23, 2011 News

A team of investigators is expected to return to the site at Port Kaituma where a Trans Guyana Airways plane crash-landed on Saturday last.
According to an official from the Civil Aviation Authority, the team will determine whether or not the wreckage should be brought to the city for further examination. This publication was also told that the Authority is waiting on a report from the pilot.
Initial reports suggest that one of the main contributing factors for the incident was bad weather. The official who spoke with this publication said that there was heavy rain in Port Kaituma for most of Saturday. This was also reported by the pilot, Juanita Williams, as well as residents of the area.
Apart from the pilot, there were three other passengers on board.
Chief Finance Officer of the airlines, Nicole Correia of the Correia Group of Companies, told Kaieteur News that the passengers, all locals, escaped the ordeal without injuries. The pilot, however, seemed to have been traumatized. The aircraft reportedly crashed into a fence and a billboard after skidding off the runway.
