Despite suggestions from an Air Jamaica executive that the airline and its new parent company, Caribbean Airlines, would be interested in forging a Caribbean conglomerate with Bahamasair, the Bahamian Government says it has not been approached on the matter.
Last month, Air Jamaica's then chief of sales, Will Rogers, was quoted in the Bahamas Tribune newspaper as saying that he expected negotiations to begin in the next three to four months with Bahamasair and Liat in the hope of forming a conglomerate.
However, the Bahamian Minister of Public Works, Neko Grant, who also has ministerial responsibility for Bahamasair, says he cannot comment on the premise of a conglomerate unless the Government receives a formal proposal.
Bahamasair Chairman, J. Barrie Farrington, confirmed that he, too, has heard nothing outside of press reports about the prospect of any alliance between Bahamasair and the regional airlines.
Mr. Farrington declined to give his view on such a proposition at this time.
