Aviation unions request urgent talks with PM on the future of CAL

Two of this coun­try’s main avi­a­tion unions have re­quest­ed ur­gent talks with Prime Min­is­ter Kam­la Per­sad-Bisses­sar, af­ter she de­clared that Caribbean Air­lines Lim­it­ed (CAL) has two years to ad­dress its fi­nan­cial is­sues or face po­ten­tial job loss­es.

At a Unit­ed Na­tion­al Con­gress meet­ing in Cou­va last week, Per­sad-Bisses­sar said that none of CAL’s routes have been prof­itable.

“Not one sin­gle route of Caribbean Air­lines is bring­ing a prof­it. But we are spend­ing mil­lions of dol­lars. They have two years max, to sort out the mess. Oth­er­wise, every­one there will have to look for a new job. Your fu­ture is in your hands,” she said.
