S04- Episode 4- Intra-regional Air travel: A Public Good
Description
Leslie-Ann Seon chats with prolific aviation research and policy practitioner Ian Bertrand out of Trinidad and Tobago to discuss regional air travel: the challenges and opportunities. On this episode, the two candidly and critically examine regional air travel from a multisectoral lens: the role of governments, private sector, tourism bodies, and the Caribbean public. Our audience will enjoy this discussion as the pair dive deeply into the wide range of setbacks/issues that continue to curtail the ease and access of airlift in the region. One can expect to walk away with a better understanding and appreciation of why travel within the region is so expensive; and why this teething issue has not been solved or seen any reprieve in recent times. Solutions for a reliable truly connected travel framework is suggested in the hope of helping policymakers and stakeholders arrive at comprehensive and collaborative blueprint to shift the needle for regional air travel; once and for all.
