Guyana will for the first time host the 2018 International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) Air Transport Conference; a significant responsibility it has earned following the improvement in its compliance.
The five-day conference, which will be held in November this year, was officially launched on Monday at the Umana Yana, Kingston Georgetown.
Director General of the Guyana Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA), Lieutenant Colonel (Ret’d) Egbert Field said that ICAO has recognised the transformation in Guyana’s aviation sector, particularly the tremendous support it has received from the government over the past few years through the Ministry of Public Infrastructure. It was as a result of this that approval was granted by the international air regulatory body for Guyana to host the much-anticipated event.
