I haven't heard anything and I don't know anything definitively, but I would be very surprised indeed if there was anything to it. Back in August, Liat announced that the BVI route was among their most profitable. See Liat story If they did pull out, it would be a disaster for the BVI as there are no other major airlines left that fly here.

Nothing direct from LIAT. Just a rumor I heard circulating at the SXM boat show. We have a lot of families that travel to us from the UK so just trying to see what I can find out before the summer.

windward2c said: Not to kick the hornets nest BUT what is the latest and greatest on the airport runway extension debacle??? The "latest" I heard was that by year end, "someone" (a company presumably) would be selected to get the project underway. Platinum article - September 8The crux of the matter is: Prior to the comments by Dr. Pickering, Premier and Finance Minister, Hon. Dr. Orlando Smith on July 16 said though [color:"red"]they have not yet determined the source of financing for the project[/color], a special committee has been set up to determine how the project is to move forward. He told reporters they are also yet to determine how it will be handled, whether solely by government or a public/private partnership endeavour. The government has been remarkably quiet on the topic since then.
