The company is currently EC$100 million (GYD$7.7 billion) in debt, of which EC$11M is owed to passengers. The airline owes Guyanese authorities more than GYD$80 million.<br \/>\nAmidst a previous push by some of its stakeholders to have the company liquidated, Antigua and Barbuda, where the airline is headquartered, had pushed hard for the re-organisation over liquidation of regional airliner.<\/p>\n<p>The Antigua Prime Minister, Gaston Browne, pushed to have that country\u2019s Parliament amend its Companies Act to recognise re-organisation as a superior option to liquidation,\u00a0and the country eventually bought over the airlines shares that were owned by the Barbados and St Vincent governments, both of which were vocal that their countries no longer wanted any stake in the airline.<\/p>\n<p>Browne had also released a re-organisation plan that calls for the injection of US$40M in new equity. Antigua has since secured a US$15 million loan to inject into the airline.<\/p>\n<div id=\"antig-1372049263\" class=\"antig-in-comments_2 antig-entity-placement\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/@hadeedmotorsltd\" aria-label=\"Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2\"><img src=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:1000\/h:250\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png\" alt=\"\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:1000\/h:250\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png 1000w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:300\/h:75\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png 300w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:768\/h:192\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" width=\"1000\" height=\"250\"   \/><\/a><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>GUYANA CHRONICLE: WITH LIAT officially re-commencing commercial flights, though to a limited number of destinations, Guyanese are keenly awaiting word from the company on the way forward as pertains to monies they would have paid to the airline for flights they never got.
