CABINET NOTES:Dr. Didacus Jules, Director General of the Organization of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS), was invited to Cabinet to discuss issues relating to aviation and transatlantic connections between the Caribbean and West Africa.
He pointed out that all the countries of the Eastern Caribbean, inclusive of Guadeloupe and Martinique, utilize a radar system that is managed by Trinidad and Tobago; therefore, all fees which air carriers pay for the freedom to fly in the airspace of these countries are paid over to Trinidad and Tobago.
Dr. Jules is of the view that Antigua and Barbuda could in fact sell those same services to the countries of the Northern Leeward Islands with the implementation of such a radar system.
iDr. Jules successfully persuaded the Cabinet to accept that flights from many West African countries have a shorter distance to fly to Antigua than to any other Eastern Caribbean country.
He therefore encouraged the Cabinet members to continue to pursue the development of links between West Africa and Antigua and Barbuda.
The Cabinet successfully enabled Air Peace to invest in putting LIAT (2020) back in the air for more than one year at this time, allowing Caribbean nationals to experience the enhanced connectivity that once was common.
Many small airlines began operating along routes that LIAT (1974) used to service, and the routes have become very competitive though the prices of airline tickets have become very high, Dr. Jules indicated.

This is a great idea
Imagine direct flights between Antigua and Ghana or Nigeria one day!
What’s the first step? A trade mission? Cultural festival?
West Africa has a lot to offer
I just hope this doesn’t turn into another forgotten plan after the headlines fade.
Sounds promising
So bird people can traffic Africans here? Is drunk ar’u drunk?
@Island Girl – That was the entire point of Antigua Airways and Air Peace. Instead, we ended up with a human trafficking situation. Disgrace.
