GEORGETOWN, Guyana, CMC -The Guyana government advisor on aviation, Lenox Shuman, announced Friday that he had resigned from his post to concentrate on establishing a new airline, El Dorado Air.
I take this opportunity to thank the Government for allowing me to serve the people of Guyana. It has been an honor,” Shuman said in a January 12 letter to President Irfaan Ali.
Shuman, a commercial airline pilot and a former Deputy Speaker of the National Assembly, is the Leader of the Liberty and Justice Party. He said that his resignation took effect from January 9.
“This resignation is being effected to facilitate my undertaking to establish a Guyanese Airline – El’Dorado Airlines Inc., and my continued role as Aviation Advisor would put me in a conflict of interest position.
“We anticipate a launch date of 20 August 2024 and look forward to the Government’s support. Avail me to assisting the Government in any capacity you see fit for the continued development of Guyana,” he wrote in his letter of resignation.
The new airline is expected to start operations by the end of August this year. For several years, Shuman, a commercial airline pilot in Canada, has yet to release details about the new airline or the proposed routes.
