Gouveia “baffled” at President’s insistence on renaming Ogle Airport …against the wishes of majority

May 2, 2016 10:27 am Category: latest news A+ /A-

President David Granger in his weekly television programme “Public Interest” has slammed aircraft operators for the delay in renaming the Ogle International Airport (OIA), describing the behaviour of those operators as “small minded”.

However, in responding, Executive Director of Roraima Airways Gerry Gouveia lashed back saying he is baffled by the President’s insistence and determination to rename the airport against the wishes of the majority.

A few months ago, the president suggested the idea of renaming the airport as Eugene Correia International Airport but this did not go down well with some of the private aircraft owners who objected to the proposal.
These include Air Services Limited, and Roraima Airways, who were more concerned with mending some of the issues plaguing the airport and to holistically develop Guyana’s aviation sector.

At that time, President of the National Air Transport Association (NATA) Annette Arjoon had stated that despite tremendous contributions to Guyana’s growth over the years, the aviation sector has not seen the development and representation that it needs to propel it forward.

Correia Group of Companies is not a member NATA but according to Vice President Gerry Gouveia, this was due to the fact that the group was “refused” a meeting with Michael Correria regarding the issues affecting operators at the Airport.

However, the Head of State made the proposal on the basis that Eugene Correia would have contributed enormously to Guyana while he was alive. Although dead more than 50 year ago, his career was described as stellar since he was minister of communications responsible for aviation, a pilot, and also the recipient of a national award.

The president noted that after he proposed the name change, he listened to the criticisms and would have met with a few people who objected. “As I said, I continue to be disappointed that they would put personality before nationality… it is my view that is a national interest that the airport is being named after a son of the soil who has done a lot”.

However, the recent comments by the president have prompted a reaction from executive director of Roraima Airways Gerry Gouviea, who took to his Facebook page to express views on the issue.

“The President is insulting the intelligence of the Majority of the Aircraft operators. I am baffled by his insistence and determination to rename the airport against the wishes of the majority,” the businessman stated.

He went on to say it is obvious the President is oblivious to the enormous advantages and value of branding in the world of business. He also vented concerns with the words “small mindedness” used by the president during his television programme.

Let Granger get the brown bai KKK really upset and change Cheddi Jagan International airport to the LFS Burnham International, and have Ogle changed to the Hamilton Green International.

The wails and hysteria that they will engage in will be truly theatrical.

Will Granger be alive in 2020?  Even from within the depths of the APNU camp there are sighs of disgust at the current state of affairs, especially among the young people.  No one expected what is unfolding in front of their eyes.  And you and I both know the fate of the AFC so let that one die in peace.

you have no disgust for the obscene corrupt legacy  of the PPP across 23 years  why do you think the APNU people will be moved? A year have gone and while they made mistakes they are not paralleling the PPP on that naked in your face corrupt practices.

Listen, the country will long be bankrupt by 2020.  Did the PPP bankrupt the country in 23 years?  No.  You all stole the election and immediately started to spend the money that the PPP left in the Treasury.  One year into the government, we have not seen an economic plan to move the country forward.  The economy is contracting at an alarming pace and not one person is paying attention. They don't even know what to do.  There is no leadership at any level.

The PNC suffers from Ko Ko Beah. They are cursed. These AFC/PNC clowns cannot even build a toilet and Indos are being slaughtered at an alarming rate.

The country never had money. It depended on loans and begging. It never accrued enough productive capacity to satisfy the requirement of meeting only a mere half of its requirement. The shame is the PPP had 23 years with the benefaction of the west to increase that percentage. Instead they squandered it away through rent seeking and outright gift.

The APNY has a similar path. This first year they seem to be deviating from the kinds of random loan seeking and big ticket items that has no multiplier effect in the society. Hopefully, they will chose good ends. It is highly unlikely they will wear out the effect of western benefaction anytime soon so we will never be broke.

Why? Will they finally attempt to turn the "coolie people party" into a "coolie people nation" when they attempt to snatch territory, call it Indesh, and attempt to secede from Guyana.

The Amerindian tochaos are now favoring Granger. So how will the "coolie people party" win when, even with "consolidating the East Indian vote" there will not be enough votes to win? This with Amerindians joining Africans and mixed people voting against them.

The PNC cannot run an economy like Guyana, an economy which has loss-making Forex earners.  They just don't understand how to leverage and amplify that Forex into the national economy and generate an overall positive outcome!  The PNC can run a straight-line sell more, buy less economy.

Maybe it is finally time for a 3rd party now that we have seen both sides of the coin, but not a party of rejects from PPP/PNC.  PPP had a major blunders with Skeldon, but the PNC are even worse as they have no economic plan. I still say the PPP is the lesser of the two evils. However if the PNC and get crime under control, this would at least give more confidence to expat to return and retire, injecting much needed cash into the economy. But so far we have not seen any improvement in crime.

Really?  1.7 Billion US dollars is not money?  Where did they get the money from for salary increases, private jet trips around the world, and 50th Anniversary Baccanal Sport??  Where did they get the money from to pay BK to paint the whole country yellow and green??

Has the PNC generated any income since they took over the country a year ago?  No.  Not one single cent.  All the money spent over the last year is money that the PPP left in the Treasury.

Do you know why the country has no economic plan?  They don't need one.  There is enough money to pull them through until they run out of cash and then they will hand the PPP the country back to replenish the golden chest!!

You actually believe that the PPP left $ 1.7 billion US in the treasury when they left office? The Improv is looking for new talent. You should apply.

Yes I do believe that.  And I am actually pi$$ed with my PPP party members for not sharing that information with the general public after all the accusations that were made against them.  Someone in the PNC camp told me that in person.  That is why they don't have the heart to bring corruption charges.  You don't bite the hand that feeds you.

Dream on! If that money was really there you better believe the PPP would let everyone know. 

Strange that the new Admin never found a trace of it. Are you referring to monies that were transferred to private accounts in India in the name of the likes of Jagdeo, Irfart, Brassington, Ashni and others?
