Inclement weather remains an obstacle in the search for the Air Services Limited (ASL) Britten Norman Islander which went missing last week Sunday. Search efforts which are ongoing in the Mahdia, Region Eight territory had to be delayed until noon yesterday since bad weather curtailed the operations.
The Rescue Coordination Centre is yet to locate the missing aircraft which was carrying 27-year-old Nicky Persaud and 51-year-old cargo handler David Bisnauth.
The men were providing shuttle service between Mahdia and Karisparu in the Potaro-Siparuni region.
They were carrying construction equipment to Karisparu and had taken off from the mining community just after noon when contact was lost with the aircraft.
Today will be the ninth day since rescue efforts begun and still rescuers are no closer to locating the plane. Spirits are not too high on finding the ASL crew alive.
As recent as Friday, the rescue centre deployed a further three teams to commence ground search in the Mahdia area. They were previously conducting aerial searches.
The Rescue Coordination Centre is currently focusing on specific areas of ‘interest’. These are Black Water and North Fork. The centre had received at least nine reports of possible plane locations. None has however proved fruitful.
Rescue works are expected to continue today depending on the weather conditions.
