Airport Authority in confusion once again – No more contract renewal for Director of Security 

After being on the job for just four months, the new Trinidadian born CEO (former Grenada International Airport CEO) Ms Wendy Williams advised Director of Security Avery Henry that his services would no longer be needed. 

 This act, has now opened a door of confusion, uncertainty and questions particularly since the information relating to his departure has been kept a tight secret from airport stakeholders and employees.   

In instance like this, notification is given however, on Sunday evening HR Manger Moya Thomas sent an email to a selected few as opposed to a formal announcement through the Human Resources Department as is customary.

The ABAA body learned of this information only through the grapevine.  

What is the Human Resources manager doing?  Fix this!… 

Henry’s departure is the first of many to come as the moral of staff drop daily and many try to seek out new opportunities to grow and contribute to something meaningful. 

Airport Authority needs help – At the top of the so-called management is a group of people who are learning on the job.  What is now a very young and inexperienced team struggles to run the institution that is so critical to the economy of the nation.  

Henry’s director role is being undertaken by a Dominican born Giffer Jones this information too has been kept tight without any notification among the airport community.

  1. Isn’t there no Antiguan or Barbudan that can do the job efficiently?We need to give them a chance too,bringing all different nationalities to do what probably an Antiguan or Barbudan can do better.

  2. Alot of *B.S.* & wrong has been going on within the Airport Authority to the staff for far to long, & maybe now everything will start to come to light & all the wrong done to pass staff and present . Nothing done in dark will stay in the dark for ever. Thank God for starting to show the light .

  3. The New CEO was given a job to Restructure the Entire Airport and to make Antiguans Jobless.Wait watch and see everthing will unfold very soon.

  4. Wasn’t this same Director of Security caught with traveling with a …. We need to be careful when we jump in based articles that lack facts.

  5. Like I’ve said previously Antigua for Antiguans is just a useless cliche stop being fooled by politicians with their mamagyzm they will always prefer outsiders take the blinkers off your eyes

  6. @Peeping Tom

    Yáll cant “manhandle”she and do as allyuh like with she. She is no pushover!!! Tek dat inna are you corrupt backside!

  7. THE PERSON WHO WROTE THIS ARTICLE SOUNDS LIKE THEY ARE FULL OF HATE AND VERY BITTER WITH A NASTY AGENDA !!!

    IF THIS IS TRUE , THERE MUST BE A REASON THE GOV NOT RENEWING HIS CONTRACT.

  8. For now, one question: How many security issues have there been in the last years concerning Antigua international airport? With traveling and local and worldwide increasing travelers? With logistics and responses including difficult times like the Covid era, security and handling of high influential people that have come to Antigua needing extra security measures in the last years, the design, roll-out, structure, budgeting, building, implementation and organization with all needed security measures, all inclusive, for the new Barbuda international airport; again the last couple of years, producing as a fact the opening of an operational brand new ‘international’ airport? Where were all these non-national now appointed when all this hard work, sacrifices, know-how, knowledge and experience were taking place? And the list of questions go on and on ? Lack of experience and problems were so very well covered, not mentioned or made public for any special reasons or they in fact never existed? Asking for a friend

  9. Ask airport security staff about Avery. It was time for him to go. As for putting your own at the top it was your own that refused to work with security. It was you Ur own that treated security like slaves and decided to whip them onto shape. The entire airport strik for Stanley smith to come back. God bless his soul may he RIP.The entire airport sang alleluia when your own was publicly humiliated by the pm.

  10. IF YOU WERE A NON NATIONAL YOUR EMPLOYMENT WOULD BE GUARANTEE UNTIL RETIREMENT….. CHECK CUSTOMS, PORT AUTHORITY, ABS. THIS COUNTRY NEED DONALD TRUMP. MAKE ANTIGUANS GREAT AGAIN
