Message from the Director General
As the regulatory Authority responsible for the sustainable development of Guyana’s air transport sector in keeping with the International Civil Aviation Organisation’s (ICAO) Standards and Recommended Practices, the GCAA is committed to its mission of being a regulator that is facilitating, adaptable, and forward thinking, thus ensuring a safe, secure, economically viable and environmentally sound aviation sector.

However, projected increase of air traffic in the near future, and Guyana’s forested and mountainous terrain in its hinterland, has and may continue to cause challenges to aircraft operational safety.
In recognizing these challenges, the Director General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has embarked on a program of continuous training and the establishment of a voluntary hazard reporting system.
With lessons learned from past accidents and incidents, together with the proactive reporting of hazards and enhanced oversight, Guyana will be poised to greatly enhance safety.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″ css=”.vc_custom_1486303561933{margin-bottom: 0px !important;padding-right: 0px !important;padding-left: 40px !important;}”][lvca_odometers
