Enhancing regional air and maritime transportation are among matters for consideration when CARICOM Heads of Government hold their 30th Inter-Sessional Meeting in Basseterre, St. Kitts and Nevis, 26-27 February.
A release yesterday from the CARICOM Secretariat said that Heads of Government will scrutinize recommendations from a Special Meeting of the CARICOM Council for Trade and Economic Development (COTED) on Transportation, held in St Vincent and the Grenadines on the 18th of February. This COTED meeting dealt with, among other things the Multilateral Air Services Agreement (MASA), proposals for a regional ferry service and easier security check-in for in-transit passengers. MASA, when established, will serve to maximize the economic and social benefits arising from aviation activities for CARICOM air carriers, the release said.
