Philipsburg: ---A delegation from Anguilla will be meeting with commissioner of aviation affairs Frans Richardson and the Lt. Governor Franklyn Richards to work out the current issues regarding in transit passengers at the Princess Juliana International Airport. Commissioner Richardson made the announcement at a press briefing on Thursday.
The commissioner said he was also contacted by the authorities in St. Barths since they too are having problems with their in transit passengers. One of the hindrances Richardson said is that the Princess Juliana International Airport does not have an in transit hall and therefore passengers moving on to the other islands have to go through the regular immigration lines.
Richardson said that due to these passengers sometime loose their planes or the flights are delayed. He said that for St. Barths they definitely have to find a solution since the airport on that island closes at sunset. During Friday's meeting, which would involve drs. Randus Eugene Holiday a solution on the in transit, hall has to be found since they are promoting St. Maarten as the gateway to the Caribbean.
The commissioner said while PJIAE has the facilities they would do all that is possible to make in transit passengers comfortable by making sure they get to their destination smoothly.
