Jagdeo calls Piarco worst airport in the Caribbean

Jul 10, 2011 News

President Bharrat Jagdeo has described the Piraco International Airport in Trinidad and Tobago as the worst airport in the Caribbean when it comes to organization He said that it is a hassle for Guyanese passengers who have to intransit there.
Speaking at a press conference this past week on procedures at the Piarco Airport, Jagdeo said that when passengers board a Caribbean Airlines flight from Miami or New York with the intention of coming to Guyana, they have to in transit in Trinidad. In some cases, passengers would have to get off the aircraft and join another aircraft coming to Guyana.
But instead of being taken to an in-transit lounge, passengers have to join a line and go through security and then enter the departure lounge.
Jagdeo called this treatment “horrible, horrible” and said that he had spoken to Trinidad’s Transport Minister Jack Warner about the problem, but it is still happening.
“Guyanese don’t want to in-transit by choice; they only go through there because the flights come through there,” Jagdeo stated.
“If they had a proper, modern airport…that is in keeping with what is happening around the world, people would just move and sit in the in-transit lounge and then move and come home,” the President stated.
“It is the worst airport in terms of organisation,” Jagdeo declared.
