Antigua Sun| LIAT, C-Star focus on busy period before merger

Antigua Sun: "Tomorrow was identified as the deadline for the completion of the merger between regional airlines LIAT and Caribbean Star, but LIAT’s CEO Mark Darby now says that a more practical deadline would be the end of April.

" 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.
