US air transport regulators on Thursday met with Minister of Public Infrastructure, David Patterson, to discuss increased safety in the civil aviation operations.
During the visit, Matthew Cummings, a Transportation Security Administration (TSA) official, also met with Annette Ferguson, Minister within the Ministry of Public Infrastructure, at the Ministry’s office in Wight’s Lane.
“The visit was to encourage the Ministry and the Guyana Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA) to continue its efforts of strengthening safety and security regulatory oversight of international civil aviation operations,” the Ministry said yesterday.
The TSA is the regulatory body of the US that evaluates all air carriers operating into the USA’s airspace from foreign stations on a regular basis to ensure that safe and secure practices are maintained.
The Ministry said that Cummings’ visit to the Ministry was a fruitful one as initiatives for cooperation, technical support, training and development were discussed.
Chaitrani Heeralall, GCAA’s acting Director General, and Dorris Sammy, GCAA’s Aviation Security Officer, were part of the meeting. Since the 911 attacks, the US has implemented a number of tough travelling measures and systems to reduce the possibilities of attacks.
Countries are mandated to implement the safety precautions with routine assessments and training carried out to ensure compliance.
