CARICOM Heads of Government will meet in Barbados in the first quarter of 2025 to host the Regional Symposium on Air Transport.
This was decided during the recently concluded Forty-Seventh Regular Meeting of the Conference of Heads of Government of CARICOM.
CARICOM heads have previously held a symposium on crime, and one on the state of WI cricket.
According to CARICOM's communique, the symposium will be themed, “Building cooperation for the further development of Regional Civil Aviation”.
"The Symposium will provide International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) training programmes to industry personnel, and will address regulatory, operational, safety, security, and gender issues in the sector," the communique said
Also coming out of the heads of government meeting was an update on the improvements in airlift to, from and within the Region, including the operationalization of LIAT 2020 with the provision of jet services.
Heads of Government also received a status report on the Intra-Regional Passenger/Cargo Ferry Service between Barbados, Guyana, and Trinidad and Tobago. "Actions are far advanced," the communique noted.
