In a move that would further reinforced the robust and growing partnership between India and Guyana, an H-228 aircraft was delivered here on Saturday.
The aircraft was brought on board an Indian Air Force C-17 Globemaster aircraft, which landed at the Cheddi Jagan International Airport (CJIA).
The H-228 aircraft was manufactured by Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd and is the first of two aircraft to arrive in the country. A second C-17 Globemaster aircraft is scheduled to arrive today, bringing the additional aircraft of the same type.
According to the Indian High Commission in Georgetown, this initiative builds upon India’s earlier provision of two HAL Dornier 228 aircraft to Guyana in March 2024 under Line of Credit, reflecting the deepening cooperation and shared commitment of both countries towards strengthening aviation infrastructure and regional connectivity.
The Acting High Commissioner, Manoj Kumar, received the C-17 Globemaster upon its arrival and warmly welcomed its crew and HAL officials, commending their professionalism and dedication.
The induction of these aircraft is expected to significantly enhance Guyana’s civil aviation capabilities, particularly in improving accessibility and connectivity across regions.
This development marks yet another significant step forward in strengthening India–Guyana cooperation in civil aviation and deepening bilateral ties.
