Minister of Public Utilities and Aviation, Hon. Deodat Indar, MP, delivered remarks at the opening of the Caribbean High-Level Symposium on Aviation Safety with a call for stronger regional cooperation, harmonised regulations, shared expertise and sustainable capacity across the Caribbean aviation sector.
Minister Indar said the region must move from discussion to implementation, stressing that cooperation should become the operating principle of Caribbean aviation as countries respond to growing demand, new technologies and evolving safety and regulatory challenges.
Also addressing the opening were Prime Minister Brigadier (Ret’d) Mark Phillips; CARICOM Secretary-General, Dr Carla Barnett; William Ashby, Acting Division Chief of the Caribbean Development Bank’s Economic Infrastructure Division; and Luis Fernando Fiallos, ICAO South American Regional Director.
The symposium brings together regional aviation leaders, regulators and international partners in Georgetown to advance practical action on aviation safety, oversight and cooperation.
