Fourteen people were safely evacuated from an Air Services Limited (ASL) aircraft after it veered off the runway at the Eugene F. Correia International Airport, Ogle, on Saturday morning.

The Guyana Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA) said the Cessna 208 Caravan, registered 8R-RCA and bound for Port Kaituma, veered off the left shoulder of Runway 07 while taxiing at approximately 8:04 a.m.

Two airport fire service tenders responded to the incident, and all 14 occupants were safely removed. No injuries were reported.

The aircraft was subsequently towed from the runway, which reopened at 8:46 a.m., with minimal disruption to airport operations.

The GCAA has launched an investigation to determine the circumstances surrounding the incident. Further updates are expected as more information becomes available.
