AGP Executive Report
Last update: 7 hours agoAviation Policy: EU airline groups are pushing back hard on the bloc’s newly agreed passenger rights reform, saying it raises costs and complexity while not tackling the real drivers of delays and cancellations. The deal keeps distance-based compensation (from €250 up to €600) for long delays and certain cancellations, adds fare transparency and stronger rules on assistance, rerouting and reimbursement, and still leaves airlines room to deny payouts for “extraordinary circumstances.” Regional Skills & Services: OECS member states, including Montserrat, are moving to strengthen the services sector with a specialised training programme hosted by Antigua and Barbuda from June 29 to July 2, aimed at boosting resilience and competitiveness in global services markets. Public Sector Hiring: An international Overseas Territories summit in Bermuda spotlighted civil service recruitment struggles tied to ageing populations, outward migration and private-sector competition, with Montserrat among the territories represented. Tourism & Heritage: Pope Leo XIV blessed the final Tower of Jesus Christ at Barcelona’s Sagrada Família, now the world’s tallest church, in a major boost for global tourism and construction-linked heritage industries.
