Airport puts domestic traffic changes on hold

Plans to merge do­mes­tic and in­ter­na­tion­al de­par­ture pro­cess­ing at the Pi­ar­co In­ter­na­tion­al Air­port have been post­poned un­til fur­ther no­tice.

The Air­ports Au­thor­i­ty of Trinidad and To­ba­go had in­tend­ed to redi­rect all do­mes­tic de­part­ing pas­sen­gers, in­clud­ing those trav­el­ling to To­ba­go, from the ground-floor lounge to a uni­fied gate sys­tem in the in­ter­na­tion­al de­par­ture area from to­day.

Un­der the planned change, do­mes­tic pas­sen­gers would have used a cen­tralised, ex­pand­ed se­cu­ri­ty check­point shared with in­ter­na­tion­al trav­ellers.

How­ev­er, the Au­thor­i­ty said the redi­rec­tion of do­mes­tic traf­fic to in­ter­na­tion­al check­points will no longer pro­ceed as sched­uled.
