Antigua St. John’s – Prime Minister Baldwin Spencer and Minister of Tourism, John Maginley, are currently in Barbados attending a meeting of the Majority Shareholders of LIAT.
Along with the other Majority Shareholders Dr. Ralph Gonsalves, Prime Minister of St. Vincent and the Grenadines, and Freundel Stuart, Q.C., Prime Minister of Barbados, PM Spencer will discuss a number of issues important to LIAT at this juncture in the airline’s history.

Not so Dismissive about PRoC. Be careful of what you wish for. Since 2002, ProC has been developing a 70-passenger regional jet called the ARJ21and will set up a sales subsidiary for the ARJ21 in the United States.
PRoC is building Airbus320.
Boeing is the single largest purchaser of made-in-China aviation parts.Today, some 6,000 Boeing airplanes fly throughout the world with integrated China-built parts and assemblies and may soon see the PRoC building Boeing Aircraft.
GE is signing a deal to sell avionics technology - electronics that control an aircraft's basic in-flight operations - to Commercial Aircraft Corp. of China

So who are the players, i.e., the shareholders, board of directors and management team?
"A meeting of the 'majority shareholders'" - what does this mean?
Is Antigua the majority shareholder and are the other two minority shareholders?
Why are the shareholders determining what plane to buy? Did the management team recommend to the Board of Directors what plane to buy?
