The air transportation woes affecting the Eastern Caribbean since LIAT’s collapse, will be getting closer attention from the Caribbean Development Bank (CDB) as the Board of Directors has approved a technical assistance grant to go towards developing interim arrangements to address the crisis. The CDB will finance consultancy services which will devise urgent provisional measures to re-establish regular air transport services within the sub-region. Options for a permanent solution will be considered in a subsequent intervention. The support has come in response to a request from the Governments of Antigua and Barbuda, Barbados, Grenada, Guyana, Saint Lucia, and St. Vincent
