CARIBBEAN-AVIATION-LIAT denies newspaper article regarding CPL

ST. JOHN’S, Antigua, CMC – The Antigua-based regional airline, Tuesday denied a regional newspaper that the founder of the Caribbean Premier League (CPL) lost millions of dollars as a result of the operations of the airline during the competition last month.
The Barbados Sunday Sun newspaper quoted businessman Ajmal Khan as describing the airline service as a “travesty” and that the cash-strapped airline had cost tournament organizers “millions of dollars” in additional expenses because of air travel woes.
“It had a big impact and the travesty of what we had to deal with in the transportation of players and equipment showing up 30 minutes before the game starts. It was disgraceful,” he said.
