Transport Ministry responds to BATCU

Ministry of Transport and Aviation

The Ministry of Transport & Aviation is very concerned about the comments attributed to the President of the Bahamas Air Traffic Controllers Union, (BATCU) Ms. Lashan Gray, in this morning’s issue of The Tribune newspaper, in which the President suggests that the Union may be considering taking industrial action over the Easter holidays.

The Ministry is shocked at the President’s implied threat to disrupt air traffic services unduly, and without cause, and thereby causing inconvenience to the travelling public. In fact, just yesterday, (1^st April, 2015), the President was informed in writing by the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Transport & Aviation that the Public Treasury is preparing payments for the holidays worked, and that the said payments will be made by Tuesday, 7^th April, 2015.

There is therefore no basis, in fact or in law for any such disruptive action in respect of an essential service. The Ministry advises that such action would not only be gratuitous, but would be a gross interference with the enjoyment of Bahamians and others over the Easter holidays. Further, the Ministry has been informed by aviation stakeholders that the pronouncements by the President of the Bahamas Air Traffic Controllers Union have created alarm in both the domestic and international aviation sectors.

The possibility has now arisen, based on information the Ministry is receiving, that these airlines will make business decisions that may divert Tourism traffic away from the Commonwealth of The Bahamas. The economic implications for the Bahamian people are obvious. The Ministry calls upon the President of the Union to act responsibly in the interest of the country.
