Virgin Atlantic boss expresses interest in investing in LIAT – The Daily Herald
Richard Branson has a track record of mediocre performance at best with his airlines, but investing in LIAT would certainly bring the average down. This is just a financial disaster waiting to happen. While normally that wouldn’t rule out a Branson investment, this one is even too bad for him… I think. LIAT is in really bad shape, and this could just be a last gasp effort.

Long Beach Airport Redistributes Flight Slots, Welcomes New Development – Long Beach Business Journal

Proposed Peotone Airport back in business? – Crain’s Chicago Business
