Emergency simulation exercise at Vigie Airport on Tuesday

The Saint Lucia Air and Sea Ports Authority (SLASPA) has announced a comprehensive emergency simulation exercise scheduled for November 11, from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon, at the George F L Charles Airport in Vigie. This initiative is a critical component of SLASPA’s commitment to maintaining safety standards as mandated by the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO). During the exercise, flight operations will be temporarily suspended to ensure the simulation’s effectiveness. Residents and travelers may observe heightened activity around the airport, which is directly related to the drill and should not raise alarm. Additionally, traffic flow along Nelson Mandela Drive, the primary access route to the airport, will experience temporary restrictions. Motorists are advised to adhere to instructions from the Royal Saint Lucia Police Force Traffic Department to facilitate orderly movement during this period.
