Impressed with improvements at CJIA
Dear Editor,
I agree with Charles Sohan’s overall assessment of the CJIA airport, having made a trip to Guyana recently, after one roughly three years ago. In fact, I was surprised and impressed by the visible improvements in three years.
I was afforded the full wheelchair service both ways, because of ‘mobility problems’, and throughout experienced courtesy and efficiency from the ‘handlers’. (The Guyanese end cheerfully did virtually all my document handling).
My only bone of contention was the very long wait on arrival at CJIA for the retrieval of my suitcase from the carousel, only to find later that a large bag of sweets had been opened and about one-third of them missing, the bag resealed with staples and straight pins.
On leaving, I observed that the washrooms were clean, fresh smelling, and more modern than several I had seen abroad. In fact, I remarked to an attendant that “the departure tax seemed justified by the mod cons (modern conveniences) at the airport! I liked being able to sit in the lounge and watch the neat green lawn and planes arriving, even the striding staff! Simple things being of interest to simple minds?
Let us hope this continues.
