AS early as 17:00 hours Monday, all five Caribbean Airlines flights which departed the Cheddi Jagan International Airport (CJIA) in Guyana had reached their destinations safely with all passengers and crew members.
The flights which departed Guyana were flight number BW 484 which departed at 05:35, BW 524 which departed at 06:05, BW 527 which departed at 08:35, BW 662 which departed at 10:15 and BW 424 which departed at 14:45.

The planes took to the skies despite reported terrorist threats to the airline which were received by an employee of the airline on Sunday, sparking much unease among airline officials, security agencies, airport officials and passengers.
As a direct result of the threats which were made public on Sunday, an advisory was issued by the United States Embassy in Guyana warning its citizens not to travel on any Caribbean Airlines Flight between yesterday and tomorrow.
Meanwhile, the Government of Guyana through the Ministry of Public Works went into high alert mode and employed several additional layers of security screening and other arrangements to ensure the safety of those boarding Caribbean Airlines.
CANCELLATIONS
Monday this newspaper was able to confirm that there were thirteen cancellations by persons who were scheduled to fly on the various CAL flights out of Guyana.
In an earlier interview with this newspaper Transport Minister Robeson Benn stated that there was active security enhancement at the airport and that will remain in place until such time that the authorities determine to be necessary.
He had also indicated that local authorities have made contact with their counterparts in both Trinidad and Tobago and Barbados with the latter being asked to pull phone records to ascertain from where in that country the call originated.
Up to this point there has been no official word with respect to what exactly was uttered in the call that amounted to a terrorist threat. When asked about this, Guyana’s Transport Minister made it clear that this information cannot be disclosed since the matter is engaging the attention of the security agencies.
