Tobago: The Tobago House of Assembly is accusing Caribbean Airlines of neglecting pleas by the THA for connecting services with international flights in an effort to boost Tobago’s ailing tourism sector.
Secretary of Tourism and Transportation Assemblyman Oswald Williams says the situation is so bad that he again wrote Transport Minister Devant Maharaj earlier this week seeking a meeting to discuss the issue.
Williams said CAL continues to neglect the pleas of the Assembly through letters and telephone calls for a meeting to put their case before the national airline which is being heavily subsidised by the taxpayers of Trinidad and Tobago.
He said CAL recently introduced connecting services between Barbados and St Lucia and Barbados and Grenada.
Williams added that he had earlier requested a meeting with CAL executives to discuss a connecting flight between Barbados and Tobago for tourists on a fortnightly charter service from Scandinavia who wished to come to the island.
He added that the airline had reserved 30 seats on its aircraft for Tobago bound passengers but because of a lack of same day connections it was forced to give it to St Lucia.
