Guyana Fire Service Quickly Contains Fire at CJIA; Minimal Disruptions Expected
The Guyana Fire Service (GFS) swiftly responded to and contained a fire detected in an air conditioning unit at the check-in area at the Cheddi Jagan International Airport (CJIA) earlier today.
The fire, suspected to be electrical in nature, prompted the immediate evacuation of passengers and airport staff to allow the GFS to conduct initial investigations. There have been no reports of injuries to passengers or airport users.
At the time of the incident, the check-in process was underway for BW527 and Suriname Airways flights. Airport authorities anticipate the check-in process will resume once the GFS has completed its investigations and given clearance.
CJIA is working to have full operations, resume, in the shortest possible time.
