Guyana assumes a regional leadership role in aviation oversight as the Caribbean Aviation Safety and Security Oversight System (CASSOS) holds its 29th Board of Directors Meeting in Georgetown. The meeting takes place on Friday at the Aiden by Best Western Hotel and is chaired by Egbert Field, Director General of the Guyana Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA). Sources say the session helps set priorities for advancing regional aviation safety and security standards.

Across the reports, the focus is on CASSOS governance and standard-setting. Guyana is described as taking on a leadership position for a two-year term within the organization. The articles also note that Field’s chairmanship presides over an inaugural session under his leadership, establishing a platform for continued regional coordination.

While outlets differ slightly in wording, all describe the same core events: CASSOS convenes its 29th board meeting in Georgetown; Guyana’s civil aviation authority director general chairs; and the meeting is intended to advance Caribbean aviation safety and security oversight.
