GEORGETOWN, Guyana, Monday August 22, 2011 – Three weeks after a Caribbean Airlines Limited (CAL) aircraft ran off the runway at the Cheddi Jagan International Airport, a small Trans Guyana Airways plane skidded off an airstrip at Port Kaituma in the country’s interior over the weekend.

No one was seriously injured but the plane was damaged badly.

The Britten Norman Islander was carrying four Guyanese passengers when it ran off the end of the airstrip and crashed into a fence as the pilot tried to land in bad weather on Saturday.
