The Cheddi Jagan International Airport is back to a state of normalcy,Nolan Carroll Eagles Jersey, following the installation of the portable lights borrowed from Barbados on Friday.Kaieteur News was told that a technician from Barbados arrived in Guyana to install the lights.Yesterday, when Kaieteur News contacted Minister of Public Works,Dontrelle Inman Chargers Jersey, Robeson Benn,Joe Barksdale Chargers Jersey, he said that the lights arrived on Friday and were immediately set up.On Wednesday last,Jason Kelce Eagles Jersey, the minister said that Barbados loaned the lights to Guyana and, as such,Matt Moore Dolphins Jersey, the country only had to pay the air freight. Yesterday, the minister told this newspaper that he does not think that Guyana paid the freight,Anthony Steen Dolphins Jersey, since one of the airlines assisted in the transport.With five days to go before the grand opening of the Festival of Arts,King Dunlap Chargers Jersey, the runway at the airport is now being operated on solar lights.  The minister told the media that it will take a number of weeks before the regular system at the airport is fully restored, and that it would be at least 12 weeks before Guyana can get the replacement lights from Australia.Explaining the present situation at the airport,Mychal Kendricks Eagles Jersey, Minister Benn said that on July 29 last a lightning strike at the airport caused extensive damage to a number of electrical items,Stefen Wisniewski Eagles Jersey, including the runway light circuits.The situation worsened after the back-up generator went down when a flight was about to land at the airport.Efforts by technicians and controllers stationed there averted disaster when an approaching Sky Services aircraft almost ran off the runway.  A new generator is yet to be installed at the GCAA tower.However, Minister Benn yesterday assured that the generator is being sourced and said that he was not aware that the present generator was ‘outdated.’ (Tusika Martin)
