KINGSTON, Jamaica – Air Jamaica, BWIA West Indies Airways Ltd, Caribbean Star and LIAT are pleased with the announcement that the joint bid for the transportation of the TOMS (Teams, Officials, Media and Sponsors) for CWC 2007 (Cricket World Cup2007) has been accepted by ICC/CWC. The airlines look forward to finalizing the contractual details and moving forward with this exciting and challenging project.
This historic initiative marks the first time that a true collaborative effort will be undertaken by a consortium of carriers within the Caribbean region.

He concluded, “We now have at hand a major and official role to ensure that this world-class event is a success!”
