Former Prime Minister Keith Rowley has publicly expressed his concerns regarding reported airfare increases between Trinidad and Tobago. In a recent statement, he highlighted what he termed a staggering ‘100 percent increase’ in ticket prices, prompting him to question the lack of public backlash over the fare hikes.
Rowley drew comparisons between the current public reaction and the stronger criticisms that similar fare increases garnered during his time in office. He noted that such significant changes would typically provoke more outcry from the public, indicating a shift in sentiment or awareness.
The former Prime Minister also underscored the importance of the domestic air bridge, labeling it an essential service for the people of Tobago. He expressed worries that the rising costs of air travel could undermine access to the island, which relies heavily on this service for both residents and tourists.
Despite Rowley’s strong statements, it is important to note that no official policy statement or detailed breakdown of the fare adjustments has been released, leaving many questions unanswered about the implications of these increases.
