ASG DISTANCES ITSELF FROM STATEMENTS MADE BY GRENADA BOARD OF TOURISM

St. George's, November 27, 2009 -- Aviation Services of Grenada Ltd., wishes to advise the general public that the explanation provided by the Grenada Board of Tourism regarding the inaugural flight of Sunwing Airlines into Grenada on Tuesday, November 24th, 2009 is incorrect in so far as it relates to the involvement of ASG Ltd.

ASG Ltd., has been contracted by Sunwing Airlines to perform the ground handling of its flights into Grenada – This entails the offloading and loading of aircraft and the checking in of passengers for the flight. We are therefore not ‘agents’ for the airline.  

ASG Ltd. wishes to advise that the company has never been engaged in the welcoming of any airline into Grenada as this responsibility falls on the Board of Tourism, in conjunction with other stakeholders.

ASG Ltd. never advised the Board of Tourism that it would host a function for Sunwing Airlines on a later and more suitable occasion as this is not standard procedure for our company.
