LIAT flight turns back to CJIA after engine issue
Kaieteur News – A LIAT aircraft bound for Antigua was forced to turn back to the Cheddi Jagan International Airport (CJIA) on Sunday after the pilot reported an engine-related issue about 30 minutes into the flight.
LIAT Flight 5L770 departed CJIA at 11:55 a.m. for Antigua, but at approximately 12:25 p.m., the pilot notified the Control Tower that the aircraft would be returning to Guyana due to the reported engine issue, the CJUIA said in a press release.
Emergency services, including the Guyana Fire Service, were immediately alerted and placed on standby as the aircraft made its way back to the airport. The aircraft subsequently landed safely at CJIA, with all 47 passengers disembarking without incident.
The aircraft remained at the airport as LIAT’s technical team assessed the problem and worked to determine the necessary repairs.
The Guyana Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA) and CJIA said they were working closely with LIAT on the matter.
