KINGSTOWN, St. Vincent, CMC – Prime Minister Dr. Ralph Gonsalves wants Caribbean Community (CARICOM) leaders to seriously address the regional airline industry when they meet later this year. CARICOM leaders will meet in Haiti for their inter-sessional summit in February and Gonsalves said that apart from cooperation with other airlines, there is need to address matters such as energy costs, fuel and “we need to address the subsidy which CAL (Caribbean Airlines) is getting and competing with LIAT in the same space, the same single economic space. “You can’t do it, it is just wrong it is contrary to the Revised Treaty of Chaguaramas and is contrary to the 1996 Common Air Services Agreement signed to by CARICOM members including Trinidad and Tobago and St. Vincent and the Grenadines”.
