CCJ rejects challenge to renaming of Ogle airport

The Eugene F. Correia International Airport

A ruling handed down yesterday by the Caribbean Court of Justice (CCJ) has rejected a challenge to the renaming of the Ogle Airport to the Eugene F Correia International Airport (EFCIA).

The court found that former Minister of Public Infrastructure, David Patterson did consult with domestic flight operators on the decision.

In a ruling delivered by the Trinidad-based court of last resort, the CCJ concluded that the duty to consult in this case related to the simple question of whether the proposed new name should be approved or not.
