Bharath: CAL looking to deal with spending

Jun 21, 2013

PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad - Approaches have been made to Caribbean Airlines (CAL) to initiate a Colombia/T&T/London route and a Panama/T&T/London route, Trade Minister Vasant Bharath says. At yesterday’s weekly post-Cabinet press conference Bharath said the current focus for the moment was on returning to basics and dealing with capital expenditure.
He said he met recently with new CAL interim board chairman Phillip Marshall on what he (Bharath) expected from the new board. He said people who have worked with the former BWIA and early Caribbean Airlines structure also were assisting.
He said CAL also was finalising issues concerning the Air Jamaica arrangement and quelling Jamaican concerns on outstanding matters. Most of a total of US$15 million owed to Jamaica had been paid except US$2 million which would be paid by month end, he said.
