Prime Minister Mia Mottley Provides Update on Air Peace Discussions and Potential Entry into Barbados

Prime Minister Mia Mottley confirmed that Government met over the Nigerian carrier Air Peace as recently as last Wednesday.

Mottley said she did not like making predictions or promises but indicated discussions were going well and it was now over to the regulatory authorities on the matter of allowing the airline into Barbados.

“Once that’s done, we’ll get reports and then at the governmental levels, it is for us to determine how we promote and get the market going because, as you would know, anything you want to sell, you’ve got to market first . . . . People must know about it and people must be able to afford it and people must feel that there’s value in it,” Mottley told reporters Friday just before departing Nassau, on the final day of the Afreximbank 31st Annual Conference and the AfriCaribbean Trade and Investment Forum at the Baha Mar Centre in The Bahamas.
