The Cheddi Jagan International Airport (CJIA) is on track to complete the installation of a state-of-the-art baggage handling system by the end of September, according to Engineering and Maintenance Manager Voshana Lall.
The system will replace the manual bag-screening process at the check-in area, which requires passengers’ luggage to be screened separately before check-in, which created congestion in the terminal.
“Within a few weeks, this will be here,” Lall said, standing near the existing screening point. “You won’t be having this congested area here anymore in a check-in.”
