On April 20th, Fron­tier Air­lines will op­er­ate its last flight out of T&T. The Den­ver-based ul­tra low-cost car­ri­er will end ser­vice be­tween Trinidad and its Puer­to Ri­co hub, nine months af­ter launch­ing the route. In a state­ment to Guardian Me­dia, Rob Har­ris, Fron­tier Air­lines’ Cor­po­rate Com­mu­ni­ca­tions Man­ag­er said, “We pe­ri­od­i­cal­ly re­view and up­date our routes based on de­mand, sea­son­al­i­ty, and oth­er fac­tors”. Har­ris did not rule out the pos­si­bil­i­ty of the air­line re­turn­ing say­ing Fron­tier “will con­tin­ue to eval­u­ate a po­ten­tial re­turn in the fu­ture”. The Air­port’s Au­thor­i­ty of Trinidad and To­ba­go in a state­ment to Guardian Me­dia, al­so con­firmed it will “con­tin­ue to work to­geth­er with Fron­tier Air­lines.”

The Laven­tille East/Mor­vant Con­stituen­cy Ex­ec­u­tive says it is stand­ing be­hind in­cum­bent Adri­an Leonce, amid al­le­ga­tions and scruti­ny from the Op­po­si­tion over his now-de­funct busi­ness re­la­tion­ship with a man al­leged­ly linked to crim­i­nal net­works in the Unit­ed States, Eu­rope and the Caribbean.

De­spite hav­ing a rob­bery at one of their out­lets, the man­age­ment of Pal­ki In­di­an Restau­rant says they are not dis­cour­aged by crim­i­nal­i­ty and vows to con­tin­ue busi­ness, serv­ing the pub­lic.

Prime Min­is­ter Stu­art Young says US Sec­re­tary of State Mar­co Ru­bio has giv­en the as­sur­ance that the Unit­ed States “will not harm Trinidad and To­ba­go.”
