GOVERNMENT’S PLANS to partially privatise operations at Grantley Adams International Airport (GAIA) are about to move a step further.
Minister of Tourism Kerrie Symmonds said he would be seeking Cabinet’s approval, at today’s meeting, to put out a worldwide tender for the creation of a public-private sector partnership for the operation and expansion of the airport.
