The acting head of the Africa Export-Import Bank (Afreximbank) in the Caribbean, Okechukwu Ihejirika, says he remains confident that scheduled flights between Africa and the Caribbean region could soon become a reality.
Afreximbank is encouraging Caribbean businesses to showcase their goods and services at the 4th Intra-African Trade Fair (IATF2025) in Algiers in September and Ihejirika, who is head of Afreximbank’s Barbados-based Caribbean office, said that the financial institution is exploring the possibility of a direct flight between the Caribbean and Algiers for IATF2025.
He, however, said that many Africans require a visa to travel through the United States or the United Kingdom, adding that it is easier for a Caribbean national to access such a visa.
