#Providenciales, Turks and Caicos Islands – Wednesday, May 9, 2018 – The expiration of an agreement between the Airports Authority and the Road Traffic Department has led to the termination and possible re-employment of four airport staffers.  

Magnetic Media learned that a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) struck between the Turks and Caicos Islands Airports Authority and the Turks and Caicos Road Traffic Department had only temporarily shifted the responsibility of road traffic officers to TCIAA staff.  Now, the duties will revert to Road Traffic as outlined in the Ordinance.
