CARICOM says it is working to re-introduce the single security check for direct transit passengers on multi-stop intra-community flights.
This was announced last Wednesday by Secretary General Irwin LaRocque during the opening of the now concluded International Civil Aviation Organization’s (ICAO) Air Transportation meeting at the Arthur Chung Convention Centre, Liliendaal.
The Caribbean Community had implemented a single security check initiative during the Region’s hosting of the ICC Cricket World Cup in 2007 in Guyana and other parts of the Caribbean. However, without the arrangement in place, travellers making transit stops are required to go through security checks until reaching their final destination.
