Isn’t sad to observe how few people around one, who can really be trusted. They always look at one to see how much they can out of one and benefit from one. It appears that over the years this phenomena has become worse and even continues to get worse. It is everywhere, local, regional and international. It is all about money and power. Human true values get farther and farther in the background. What makes it particularly sad is not merely that some people are selfish, opportunistic, or driven...
The Caribbean understands aviation. But does it fully understand private aviation? The potential blind spot is the distinction between airline passengers and private-aviation passengers. Commercial aviation brings visitors according to a published route network. Private aviation can bring visitors according to their own economic decisions, be it property ownership, investment, yacht activity, and they bring high-value spending.

Nevis is building a first-class gateway to its next chapter, creating major opportunities in aviation, hospitality, and investment. The significance is that Nevis can accommodate the aircraft used by the people it may want to attract. With an extended 6,000 ft (1830 mtr) runway, the island puts itself firmly into the serious private- and business-aviation category. Besides the substantial bizav capability, it provides access to smaller commercial airline jets as well as regional turbo...
It brings the Caribbean island nation Antigua & Barbuda in the spotlight. It is no longer simply developing its airport to accommodate tourism growth. It is attempting to develop an aviation platform, with the international airport (ANU/TAPA) at its center combining regional air connectivity, a home-based regional airline, international route development, private aviation, aviation services, cargo and tourism. Evidence increasingly indicates that Antigua & Barbuda wants its ‘V.C. Bi...

At first, this isn't visible.The business is successful. Revenue grows. New opportunities appear. Teams work harder and solve pr...
Businesses don’t need people who know what to do when there isn't a dilemma or problem. Every generation inherits problems that the previous generation did not solve. The industry doesn't need people who know what somebody else did in the past. Some problems haven't even been invented yet. What is one actually prepared for?” Arrange for the unexpected. There is a contrast between traditional education and real-life situations. A proper education system or trainings program is not a fa...

At the 2026 Women in Aviation International (WAI) conference in Dallas, nearly 5,500 people attended, including representatives from 28 countries. My attendance at the conference taught me that although I was different, I found people who understood me, and I discovered that I belong. I learned that my differences are useful. I felt that I can be myself here, I can contribute, I can disagree, I can learn, and I will still be regarded as one of us. Female aviation professionals join WAI for a mix...
