GAIA receives Broken Trident, pledge book
THE commemorative Broken Trident continued its trek across the parish of Christ Church yesterday.
For three hours, the Grantley Adams International Airport (GAIA) hosted the symbol which has been commissioned for the 50th Anniversary of Barbados’ Independence.
Officers of the Barbados Defence Force (BDF) handed-over the Broken Trident to Joseph Johnson, Acting Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of GAIA, outside of departures, where it was erected next to the pledge book.
Johnson expressed that GAIA was honoured to play host to the Trident. He said that visitors will be educated on its significance.
“We will ensure that persons seeing the Trident know what it is all about,” he assured.
“The Grantley Adams International Airport is the primary port of entry into this country, and this afternoon we are going to use the opportunity to let visitors, as well as locals passing through, sign the pledge book and express blessing on the country on its 50th anniversary.”
