How did the young Republic deal with its dependency on the Netherlands for development aid after 1975? Was Paramaribo following a certain foreign policy strategy of a path or did it merely react towards internal and external events? What were the decision making processes in defi ning the foreign policy course and who was involved in these processes?

  • National Aviation Safety Conference 2017 Final Report
    NATIONAL AVIATION SAFETY CONFERENCE SAFETY – THE PILLAR OF SUSTAINABILITY Georgetown, 26 – 27 October 2017 Final Report OPENING OF THE CONFERENCE 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 The National Aviation Safety Conference 2017 (NASC-2017) was hosted by the Guyana Civil Aviation Authority in collaboration with the aviation industry in Guyana at the Pegasus International Hotel during the period 26-27 October 2017, under the theme “Safety – The Pillar of Sustainability”. The Ministry of Public Infrastructure supported the collaborative approach towards hosting the conference. The GCAA has been making strides in improving Guyana’s level of safety compliance and in the implementation of international standards to which Guyana must comply as a signatory State to the Convention on International Civil Aviation. In this regard, Guyana’s compliance with ICAO moved from 44% to 64% after an assessment was conducted subsequent to the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) Coordinated Validation Mission (ICVM) in November 2016. However, within the last three months, the domestic aviation industry has witnessed three aircraft accidents within the hinterland regions, two of which were fatal. The NASC-2017 was organized to emphasize the critical importance of safety by all stakeholders, as the very sustainability of the industry is threatened if the sector is not safe, particularly considering the recent aircraft accidents. Moreover, the NASC-2017 sought to bring together investors, aviation safety managers, pilots, engineers, aviation experts/consultants and strategic decision-makers of the aviation sector in Guyana to create an opportunity to build consensus, obtain commitments and formulate recommendations deemed necessary for the enhancement and preservation of safety. The conference also aimed to educate and empower participants on relevant and current issues such as human factors, quality assurance and other pertinent areas that are of pressing concern to the Guyana aviation sector.
