Opposition Leader Pennelope Beckles is calling for the resignation of Trade, Investment and Tourism Minister Satyakama Maharaj, accusing him of failing to act in the best interest of citizens following a proposed hike in domestic airfares.
Beckles issued the call on Friday as she strongly criticised the Government’s consideration of higher peak-period ticket prices on the airbridge.
On Thursday, Trade, Investment and Tourism Minister Satyakama Maharaj announced that a proposal has been put before Cabinet which could see members of the public paying between $960 and $1,000 to travel between Trinidad and Tobago via Caribbean Airlines during peak periods, as Government considers introducing unsubsidised flights on the domestic airbridge.
