ANTIGUA/Barbados – Former Barbados Prime Minister Professor Owen Arthur will be the new chairman of cash-strapped regional airline LIAT. The veteran economist and former politician sees the new job as his biggest challenge yet, according to Nation News.
The publication reports that when contacted, Arthur confirmed his name had been put up by member governments to head the airline.
He said he would be briefed on his appointment when the LIAT board meets in Barbados Monday evening.
Arthur replaces Dr Jean Holder, also from Barbados, who resigned late last year.
