LIAT 2020 to Launch Flights to 11 New Destinations
The rebranded regional carrier LIAT 2020 (Leeward Islands Air Transport) will soon launch flights to 11 new destinations.
Expansion Plans
According to the carrier’s CEO, Hafsaf Abdulsalam, the expansion aims to provide travelers with greater access across the Caribbean, catering to business and leisure markets.
New Destinations
After serving Antigua for some time, the flights will be launched to five additional islands: St. Lucia, Barbados, Grenada, Dominica, and St. Kitts and Nevis.
“We will expand further into larger Caribbean territories in the south, adding 11 new destinations in September,” Abdulsalam explained. The expansion will include Guyana, Trinidad, and Tobago.
Aircraft Upgrade
“By the end of year one, we aim to introduce our new generation E2 195 narrow-body aircraft, a 128-seater. This will allow us to expand flights to Panama and, hopefully, with ECCA’s Cat 1 status, to Miami, Puerto Rico, and the British Virgin Islands,” Abdulsalam said.
Sustainability and Profitability
The CEO also emphasized that while ticket prices will remain competitive and affordable, the airline aims to be sustainable and profitable. To benefit travelers, the airline is seeking exemptions from other governments.
Return to the Skies
The newly formed LIAT 2020 made its inaugural flight to St. Lucia in August, signaling the interregional airline’s return to the skies.
