In preparation for hosting the first AfriCaribbean Trade and Investment Forum (ATIF2022), Barbados welcomed its first direct Ethiopian Airlines flight from Lagos, Nigeria.
To facilitate delegates planning to attend, Ethiopian Airlines has provided a direct chartered return flight between Africa and Barbados.
The flight arrived at Grantley Adams International Airport around 10:30 am Wednesday with 103 passengers, including conference delegates and over 20 media personnel.
There are more than 1,000 people registered for the three-day conference.
It is expected that officials will discuss the possibility of regular direct flights from Lagos to Bridgetown during the conference between September 1 and 3.
