The Tobago Division of the Chamber of Industry and Commerce has voiced strong opposition to any move to remove the subsidy for the Caribbean Airlines airbridge between Trinidad and Tobago.
Speaking on CNC3’s The Morning Brew programme yesterday, chamber president Curtis Williams said the organisation is aware of ongoing discussions aimed at improving the airline’s profitability, including the possible removal of the subsidy. However, he maintained that the chamber does not support such a move at this time.
Williams described the airbridge as a critical lifeline, supporting tourism, business travel and access to essential services. He said frequent travel between the islands is a necessity for families and businesses, and should be treated as a public transportation service rather than a purely commercial venture.
