Bertram wants Sangster airport renamed after former PNP minister
MONTEGO BAY, St James — Political historian Arnold Bertram is calling for the Sangster International Airport in Montego Bay to be renamed in honour of Allan George Coombs, popularly known as 'Father Coombs,' who served as a minister of communications and works in a previous People's National Party Administration.
"In 1955, he became a minister... and both with the airport (Sangster International) and in the starting up of Negril he wasn't a bystander. He actively put forward for the development of Negril and for the airport, so I support it (for the airport to be named after him)," Bertram told the Jamaica Observer on Thursday, shortly after making a presentation at the inaugural Allan George St Claver Coombs Lecture at the University of the West Indies Western Jamaica Campus in Montego Bay.
