The Guyana Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA) has launched an investigation following an incident where an Air Services Limited Cessna 208 mistakenly landed at the site of the new Lumidpau Secondary School in Region Nine on Thursday. The aircraft, en route to Karaudarnau in the South Rupununi, landed near the Lumidpau airstrip, damaging part of the school’s fence during takeoff. No injuries were reported.
A resident suggested the pilot, possibly unfamiliar with the area, might have mistakenly landed at the school compound. The GCAA has grounded the aircraft and suspended the pilot while investigating the cause of the mislanding, focusing on procedural or navigational errors.
