The Department of Civil Aviation has procured the agreement of the Grand Bahama Airport Company to pay overtime to Air Traffic Controllers at the Grand Bahama International Airport. The Company has agreed to pay the overtime on a retroactive basis less time previously taken off by Controllers in lieu of pay.
The provision of air traffic services is an essential service and the officer who turned away a commercial aircraft loaded with passengers on Tuesday, the 18th August 2015 acted contrary to his duty as an essential service worker.
This matter is now under investigation by the Public Service.
