PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad, CMC – Grenada’s Prime Minister Dr. Keith Mitchell has held informal talks with the chairman of the Trinidad-based Caribbean Airlines (CAL) Rabindra Moonan on the role the airline could play on deepening relations between the two Caribbean Community (CARICOM) countries.
A statement issued here Tuesday said that Mitchell, whose New National Party (NNP) won the February 19 general elections, has “hinted” that CAL “may be granted flag carrier status by his government in the not too distant future”.
Prime Minister Mitchell, who was on in transit here on his way to the United States, pledged his government’s support to CAL, and expressed the hope that CAL would be able to increase the current level of services it operates into and out of Grenada.
