Pundits call for amicable end to LIAT dispute
By Kadeem Joseph
There has been a strident call for diplomacy to prevail as efforts continue to return the regional carrier LIAT to the skies.
The pleas come after Prime Minister Gaston Browne chided St Vincent and the Grenadines and Barbados for allegedly discriminating against the carrier, after what he characterised as new stipulations that forced LIAT to suspend flights to those destinations.
The Prime Minister of St Vincent and the Grenadines, Dr Ralph Gonsalves, later said the suspension was due to failings on the part of the airline and the matter could have been handled with a discussion between both heads of government.
