Last update: 9 hours agoAviation Shock: Caribbean Airlines will cut more routes from June 1, discontinuing Dominica–Suriname, St Kitts–Suriname and Ogle–Suriname, and reducing Martinique and Guadeloupe service to twice weekly—moves tied to sustained losses and a reversal of the 2023 Eastern Caribbean expansion. Suriname in the Mix: The airline is also ending the non-stop Guyana–Suriname link, a direct hit to business and diaspora travel on a key intra-Caribbean corridor. Cost Pressure at Home: In Georgetown’s Stabroek Market, vendors say sales have fallen sharply as prices and the cost of living squeeze shoppers, with some earning only about half of what they used to. Diplomacy & Regional Unity: At CARICOM’s COFCOR meeting in Paramaribo, Suriname’s foreign minister pushed for people-centred, results-driven foreign policy, while CARICOM’s secretary-general urged a unified regional voice amid global shifts. Security Cooperation: CARICOM IMPACS and Crime Stoppers signed an MoU to strengthen crime prevention and secure anonymous information-sharing.
