Caribbean Regional Air Transport Connectivity Project (CATCOP)
CATCOP is a world bank funded project which is aimed at:
- Promoting resiliency of airport infrastructure to combat the potential effects of climate change; and
- Modernization of air navigational services and equipment to meet the technical and efficiency capacities that the future of aviation demands.
Currently, four territories in the Caribbean Region are participants in this programme. They are Haiti, Dominica, Grenada and Saint Lucia. Each country’s project scope is distinct and separate but there are many commonalities. The focus of Saint Lucia's project is inclusive of:
1.Runway and drainage rehabilitation at Hewanorra International Airport (HIA);
2.Drainage rehabilitation at George F. L. Charles Airport (GFLCA);
3. Upgrade in navigational systems at both airports; and
4.Capacity building of personnel
