The Premiere of the British Virgin Islands, Natalio Wheatley, says regional leaders were constantly bombarded by talks of LIAT 20 during round-table discussions as Prime Minister Gaston Browne tirelessly lobbied about his future dreams for the airline.
Of course, this was not trying to make it look like the Antiguan PM was becoming a nag at these meetings, but he said it was a clear indication that Browne had a vision and many could not see at the time.
For the first time on Sunday night, Wheatley said Browne would constantly talk about LIAT 20 at CARICOM meetings, and he is happy that the vision has become a reality.
Listen to what he said.

Prime Minister Gaston Browne deserves a lot of credit for sticking to this vision for Liat 20. It’s not easy to keep pushing and idea when others may not see its value. His persistence has clearly paid off.
Let’s see if liat 20 really delivers. The airline industry is tough, and just having a vision isn’t always enough. Hope it works out, but I’ll believe it when I see it.
i wish all the best for Gaston and liat 20. determination usually goes a long way, im waiting to see liat 20 as the best airline amongst the caribbean.
I’m not expecting everyone to like Gaston or his methodology, but his persistence regarding the Liat issue has been much appreciated by me and I’m sure many more. Now I just would to make sure that the new Liat benefits Antiguans and the wider Caribbean people as much as possible.
Many of these people who are opposing Gaston and his methods would not have the determination and vision to execute and complete the venture of getting or keeping Liat in the air, let’s be honest.
At least we can say that he really tried with LIAT 20. Give him that. I don’t support him but I will give him that. Good job PM. I could vote for you next elections if you keep the trend up
