Air Services Limited (ASL), one of Guyana’s longest-standing aviation companies with more than 60 years of operation, is alleging unfair and targeted treatment by the Guyana Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA). Chairman Captain Ahamad Mazahar Ally stated that the company received informal instructions from GCAA Director General Lt. Col. (Ret’d) that he described as unjustified and unreasonable. According to Ally, these restrictions are effectively forcing ASL out of business. The chairman’s remarks suggest a growing tension between the aviation regulator and the veteran carrier, raising concerns about the future of one of Guyana’s oldest aviation operators. ASL has not disclosed the full details of the alleged instructions, but leadership maintains that the actions taken against the company lack proper justification. The situation has drawn attention to the regulatory environment governing Guyana’s aviation sector and the treatment of longstanding local operators within the industry. Further developments are expected as the matter continues to unfold.
