The Nation Newspaper | Wilcox moving on after conquering Virgin territory

The Nation Newspaper | Wilcox moving on after conquering Virgin territory:Virgin Atlantic's regional manager on the recent merger between Caribbean Star and LIAT "'I think the LIAT/Caribbean Star merger makes a lot of sense and I think that it will prove to be a positive decision for the region, although I know there have been concerns.
'Caribbean Airlines, hard to say. I think it's a time of a lot of consolidation and I think that everybody recognises how important aviation is to the region – intra-regional as well as outside of the region – airlift is absolutely key for business, for tourism; it's essential.' "

The Nation Newspaper | SATURDAY'S CHILD: Come fly with me

The Nation Newspaper SATURDAY'S CHILD: Come fly with me : "I remember going on a Caribbean Star flight from Trinidad, island-hopping my way to Antigua. There was only one bottle of water on the flight and we drank it out on the only 'leg' that was long enough for a 'beverage service'. I remember asking myself if this was owned by a billionaire and all it had on board was one solitary bottle of water, what would have happened if he was a mere millionaire? " There is, of course, the old saying that if you want to become a millionaire you first become a billionaire and then buy an airline. Clearly that is not a mere flight of fancy since Caribbean Star proved that BWIA, Air Jamaica and LIAT were not the only Caribbean airlines that were leaders in losses.
