Among the issues fully ventilated were the ATR purchase, the termination of the employment of the former Chief Executive Officer and the relationship between the Line Minister and the Board going forward.
We had a very warm meeting with full and frank discussion of the issues on both sides and agreed to embark on a new relationship between the Board and its Line Minister with full observance of all the protocols required in compliance with the State Enterprises Monitoring Manual.
All the requisite steps will now be taken to complete the purchase of the nine (9) ATR 72-600 aircraft which have now received the verification sought from a global expert.
The ATRs have been certified by a global aviation expert to be suitable for Caribbean Airlines operational requirements and all prior concerns have been properly resolved and explained.
CAL has engaged Heidrick and Struggles, an international firm of repute, to seek qualified candidates to fill the position of Chief Executive Officer of Caribbean Airlines.
The former CEO who left office on 26th November 2010 has been paid in accordance with the terms of his contract and the attorneys are now working through the final details. We take this opportunity to wish him all the best in his future endeavours.
Both Minister Warner and the Board of Caribbean Airlines have reasserted their desire to work very closely together going forward for the betterment of the airline and toward the fulfillment of the dream of one Caribbean airline.
