The Ministry of Public Works and the Guyana Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA) will partner up to boost safety measures relating to domestic air travel. With estimations of over 50,000 air travel activities occurring annually, and some 130 airplane movements daily,Jerseys NFL Wholesale China, the Ogle International Airport has easily become the nation’s busiest aerodrome. However,Adrian Wilson Cardinals Jersey, the increased incidences of aviation accidents and incidents have frightened aviation authorities who are now bent on having a firmer grip on the adherence of safety regulations.Both GCCA head Zulficar Mohamed and Minister Robeson Benn registered concerns regarding the safety of flying domestically and has noted their intent to increase surveillance and random checks at the nation’s second largest aerodrome.Mohamed told media workers during a press conference that inspectors from the agency’s Air Safety Regulatory Directorate will also be conducting frequent operations at interior landing strips. The agencies said they have been prompted to review safety mechanisms and the adherence of these mechanisms.Minister Benn said that, “The Ministry has been recently quite concerned over a number of aircraft incidents. One week before this (Saturday’s) crash we had an aircraft flipping at Ogle aerodrome.” That incident, Benn said is also being investigated,http://www.airmaxfantasy.us.com/1600-New-Balance/, “and that one (accident) may be related to weights on the aircraft at take off.”Benn continued that,wholesale jerseys, “we have been discussing additional measures, additional oversight in respect to heightening the level of surveillance in respect to aircraft operations.
