The Peoples Progressive Party Civic (PPP/C) has revealed that in the next five years, it will be collaborating with the private sector to establish an aviation school in Guyana, with capability to train personnel across all areas of aviation, including the capacity to train and certify pilots domestically.
Still on the aviation sector, the party committed to constructing a new terminal at CJIA and municipal airports at Lethem and Rose Hall/Canje, as previously indicated.
It also committed to upgrading hinterland airstrips, and extending runways where appropriate.
Meanwhile, in the marine transport sector, the PPP/C said in collaboration with private investors, it will construct a deepwater port in Berbice, connected to a road and/or possible rail link integrated with the Linden to Lethem road.
It also revealed plans to build new port facilities at Charity, Parika, and Port Kaituma to support agricultural exports, and a marina to support riverain leisure and watersports activities.
The party said it will also be conducting capital dredging at the mouths of the Berbice and Demerara Rivers, and putting in place arrangements for ongoing maintenance to ensure adequate depth and turning basins for more efficient movement of cargo.
These plans are outlined in the party’s 2025 manifesto which was launched today.
