SADDENED BY THE DEATH OF ECCAA OFFICIALS

ST. JOHN’S, Antigua, February 23, 2010 – The Chairman, Board of Directors, management and staff of LIAT (1974) LTD have learnt with sadness of the discovery, at the Hotel Montana site in Port-au-Prince Haiti, of the remains of Mr. Rosemond James, Director-General, and of Mr. Greg McAlpin, Director of Flight Safety of the Eastern Caribbean Civil Aviation Authority (ECCAA).

Both of these officials at all times exemplified the highest standards of professionalism, integrity and dedication to the ideals of aviation safety and security, and their passing represents a tremendous loss to the civil aviation community in the Eastern Caribbean.

We join in extending our sincere condolences to the family, friends, colleagues and work-mates of these two colleagues at this difficult time.
