DEAR EDITOR:<\/strong><\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

What will become of The Caribbean Airline, LIAT? Advocates of regional integration would have thought that the importance of \u201cthe air transport service\u201d would have been more important during the pandemic. \u00a0Moving specific groups of people and more importantly cargo. With most of the usual supply chains disrupted, it was clear that CSME should have been sorted after aggressively.<\/p>\n

With the first signs of the world reopening and travel demand returning LIAT is still in administration and reduced down to three of the smaller ATRS. With LIAT 2020 registered and rumoured certified to fly, almost 600 severed employees still haven\u2019t received compensation from LIAT 1974.<\/p>

So many questions need to be asked by tax payers of this region.<\/p>
