St Lucia Prime Minister Dr Kenny Anthony remains doubtful about whether his country can participate in the re-development of the regional airline LIAT.
The airline is seeking to purchase new aircraft and expand its route network.
The St Lucian government is being asked to play a greater fiscal role in the struggling carrier which has been beset by financial difficulties and misfortune.
Earlier this year, the St Vincent and the Grenadines government, one of three shareholders of the Antigua-based airline, called on Castries to fast track its decision to become a significant shareholder.
However, despite a sales pitch by airline officials in late October, Prime Minister Anthony remains circumspect about investment in the financially strapped carrier.
