AIRPORT--Attorney Cor Merx denied on Wednesday that Princess Juliana International Airport SXM Director Regina LaBega has to give up her position.
Merx said in a letter to The Daily Herald that his client had not received a letter to this effect. He indicated that there was a letter “for someone else” who “must be removed” from the airport within eight weeks, but said this “has totally nothing to do with this case.”
When contacted by this newspaper and asked whether his client had passed the national security service screening, Merx indicated via e-mail, “If my client passed or did not pass the screening is something that still should be found out.”
When contacted for comment, Airport Holding Company Chairman Michel Hodge referred all comments to Supervisory Board Chairman of the operating company Gary Matser, who did not respond to queries from this newspaper for a comment on the matter.
