Incumbent Point Fortin MP Kennedy Richards Jr says the rerouting of flights arriving at the Piarco International Airport to Tobago, following yesterday’s Amerijet warehouse fire, shows the effectiveness of the Airports Authority and airline safety protocols.
Richards apologised to Point Fortin residents for his late arrival at the Techier Village Community Centre yesterday, where he joined Minister of Digital Transformation Hassel Bacchus to open an ICT Access Centre. He explained that his delay was due to the fire at Amerijet’s facility in the airport’s South Terminal, which resulted in the temporary suspension of all flights.
The Airports Authority had earlier confirmed that the incident triggered an immediate response from the Piarco Fire Station, supported by units from the Arima Fire Station.
