Georgetown: The Central Immigration Office at Timehri yesterday grounded an Insel Air carrier, which was scheduled to depart the Cheddi Jagan International Airport (CJIA) at 06:45hrs. According to reports, the aircraft was not permitted to depart the CJIA until arrangements were made to transport eight Indian nationals out of the jurisdiction.
A statement from the CJIA said these nationals arrived in Guyana on July 19, 2015 but were refused entry into the country for various immigration reasons and have been in the custody of the Guyana Police Force since then.
The management of CJIA is investigating the incident and said it regrets any inconvenience caused to passengers booked on the said flight.
