St Lucia's Tourism Minister Allan Chastanet has requested a meeting of regional tourism ministers to discuss problems facing the regional airline, LIAT, and civil aviation in the Eastern Caribbean. Chastanet said one of the important matters he hopes to raise at the meeting is the situation with LIAT after the company said it would most likely register a deficit of US$5.5 million on its operations last year. Earlier this week, LIAT officials said the airline also recorded a decline in passenger load. Chastanet said the bottom line for St. Lucia and most Caribbean states is the fact that they are losing intra-regional travellers.
