DR. HARRIS-LED TEAM UNITY ADMINISTRATION HAS NEVER PAID SUBSIDIES TO AIRLINE CARRIERS

Basseterre, St. Kitts, December 14, 2018 (SKNIS): Minister of Tourism, the Honourable Lindsay Grant, has dispelled rumours that the Government of National Unity is paying subsidies to airlines. According to Minister Grant, “the government does not now or has ever paid any subsidies to carriers in the Federation.”

The minister explained, during a sitting of Parliament on December 14, that what the government enters into is risk sharing agreements by which it shares the risks with the airlines for the cost of operating the plane that flies into St. Kitts. These costs are carried by the St. Kitts Tourism Authority under a Minimum Revenue Guarantee (MRG). This practice was started by the previous administration. Minister Grant said that before 2015 millions were paid out to American Airlines.
