Shuman resigns as gov’t advisor, forming new Guyanese airline

See below full letter sent to President Dr. Irfaan Ali by Civil Aviation Advisor, Lenox Shuman on January 12: 

Let me first wish you and your family all the best for the season. May it be bright and filled with joy.

I take this opportunity to thank the Government for giving me the opportunity to serve the people of Guyana. It has been an honour.

In relation to the matter at caption, I have noted several clarion calls by Your Excellency, and a corresponding echo from the travelling Guyanese public for the establishment of a Guyanese Airline.

I write to inform you that effective 09 January 2024, I will stand resigned from my post as Aviation Advisor to the Government of Guyana.

This resignation is being effected to facilitate me undertaking establishing a Guyanese Airline – El’Dorado Airlines Inc., and my continued role as Aviation Advisor would put me in a position of conflict of interest.

We anticipate a launch date of 20 August 2024 and look forward to the Government’s support.

I avail myself to assisting the Government in any capacity you see fit for the continued development of Guyana.
