Grenada Airports Authority clears the air on recent private flight into MBIA

Maurice Bishop International Airport

The Grenada Airports Authority (GAA) assures the general public that it continues to uphold all national security and health protocols, as the country’s preparedness for the impact of Covid-19 moves into high gear.

The GAA continues to routinely accept private aircraft, once they meet the newly established criteria in this period of heightened awareness of this disease.

In this regard, the GAA wishes to clearly state that the required protocols were followed in relation to a private flight with Chinese nationals aboard on Friday, 13 March 2020.

Confirming the arrival of this flight, the GAA states categorically that the flight did not originate in China, nor did the passengers onboard have any recent travel history to China or any of the other countries currently experiencing a prevalence of Covid-19 cases.

Further, the GAA states that in accordance with international Health regulations and guidelines, this virus has infiltrated borders globally regardless of race and as such, monitoring and controlling the spread of the virus is prudent at this time.

The GAA must get clearance from all its stakeholders before allowing aircraft to land and take-off from the Maurice Bishop International Airport. This clearance does not come from the Prime Minister as stated in recent social media posts. All airlines wishing to land at MBIA must first submit a flight plan and contact a ground handler who will then seek the necessary approvals from the GAA and the Ministries of Health and Civil Aviation. The travel history of the crew and passengers are considered before making a decision to accept that aircraft into our airspace. This aircraft, crew and passengers met all the requirements to land at MBIA. All the established protocols were carried out on Friday night in the facilitation of this flight.

The GAA and its parent Ministry remains committed in its fight to control the spread of this disease at all its aerodrome sites and continues to upgrade facilities, equipment, monitoring and surveillance methodologies in accordance with WHO and Ministry of Health guidance and collaboration.

    You all guys are commenting on a set of foolishness. Where is your head and common sense. Grenadian especially the opposition party should be pressing the current government for answers as to where was this flight originated from.
    That would never happen if Maurice Bishop was alive. Grenadians should take to the streets, ask questions and demand answers regarding this private plane.

    Dont worry Grenadians. The Chineese do not mingle with you. They mingle with the officials that let them in. I believe the Officials of our Nation may be exposing themselves and their subjects to whatever was undetected (desease in the incubation period) . When it hits home they will surely take action to protect the Nation. All other Nations with sense are. locking down. Let’s wait and see how it plays out. Jamaica did not let a Chineese overnite plane to offboard. One less problem to worry about. If they offboard they are placed in monitored control. A costly burden to small nations like Grenada. Be wise people. We cant fo like the big boys. We dont have the hospitals and we dont have the Money.

    Don’t be fooled like the rest of the world Grenada. Please research. Corona virus is not a passed disease through coughing and not shaking hands. I live in England and people here are homeless and never wash in years but don’t have it. The only new thing that is been rolled around the world right now to such effect is 5g towers. Research the power and abilities of 5g in nanotech and what the government’s have been testing and doing with it for years. Corona virus is a mere distraction to what is really going on.

    You will not see any more wildlife chinese will eat it all putting a strain on your resources the building that collapsed in china with sick people being treated was due to poor construction like your stadium they had to rebuild. Buy the way their way without input from local Grenadians
