New plan - Barbados Today

Regional leaders have agreed to hire a consultant to advise them on getting transportation across the region back to pre-COVID levels.The decision was made at a meeting chaired by the Barbados-based Caribbean Development Bank (CDB) and attended by leaders of the sub-regional Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS), a Barbados representative, and Guyana’s President Irfaan Ali on Tuesday.Grenada’s Prime Minister Dickon Mitchell reported at a post-Cabinet news conference in his country on Wednesday that the leaders met to discuss the situation regarding air transportation in the Caribbean amidst concerns that both regional and international travellers were finding it very expensive and difficult to travel.“It was agreed that we would retain a consultant to provide advice to the heads of the region as to how we can address the critical need to have . . . air transportation resumed at a level that existed prior to COVID-19,” he told reporters.
