“The item may be disposed or the passenger can request to collect the item on their return to Guyana [but] these items cannot be placed in the passenger’s cabin bag,” Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the CJIA, Ramesh Ghir explained to the News Room recently.
He explained that passengers who are found with firearms or ammunition are detained and handed over to the police for further investigation.
And even with the list of over 100 prohibitive items on display monitors throughout the Departure Terminal, the CEO expressed worry that persons still carry the items.
But the international airport has been working to beef up security to decrease those numbers. Just last year, over $400 million in security equipment was procured for the country’s main port of entry which includes explosive trace detectors, hand baggage scanners and an explosive detection system.
Additionally, according to the report, CJIA enhanced its CCTV system and is awaiting the procurement of an inline baggage system as part of ongoing efforts to modernize the facility.
