Italian Charter Touches Down for Winter

Caribarena Antigua News : "An Italian airline, Blue Panorama, made its inaugural flight into VC Bird International Airport early Tuesday morning. The weekly charter originates in Milan. The Italian market has always been a very buoyant one for Antigua & Barbuda, bringing in over 7,000 visitors last year.

This route was formerly serviced by Livingston Airlines, another Italian charter operator which went into liquidation in September. At that time, it was doubtful whether another airline would be able to meet all of the necessary requirements to begin operating in time for the winter season 2011.

Negotiations were held between the Ministry of Tourism, the Antigua and Barbuda Tourism Authority,"

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.
