Cheddi Jagan International Airport (CJIA) is installing a new baggage handling system, with airport engineering officials saying it will be completed and become operational by the end of September. The update is delivered in a video statement by Vashana Lall, Engineering and Maintenance Manager at CJIA, shared on social media.
The reports describe the system as “state-of-the-art” and part of CJIA’s broader efforts to modernise operations in response to growing passenger numbers.
