AGP Executive Report
Last update: 6 hours agoAnimal Health Alert: A case of New World screwworm has been detected in a Texas calf, signaling the flesh-eating parasite’s continued comeback northward after earlier eradication efforts—linked by researchers to illegal cattle smuggling and organized crime moving livestock without proper health checks. Caribbean–Europe Connectivity: LIAT (2020) and Air Caraïbes have launched an interline agreement (from May 29, in action since June 1) letting travelers book one itinerary with one ticket and check baggage through, connecting Eastern Caribbean islands (including Guyana) to Air Caraïbes services in Guadeloupe, Martinique, and French Guiana, plus onward links to Paris-Orly. Regional Airlift Fix: More interline partnerships are being positioned as a practical answer to fragmented Caribbean airlift—reducing the need for separate tickets, re-checking luggage, and extra overnight stops when hopping between nearby islands. Travel Safety Reminder: UK travel insurers are urging people to get a free GHIC before trips, warning that many travelers lack it and could face higher out-of-pocket medical costs abroad even if they also buy insurance.
