New Route to St Vincent and Grenadines

LIAT2020 will launch flights to St Vincent and the Grenadines commencing October 4th, 2024, with fares starting at a mere $99. The airline announced the launch last Thursday, via their official Facebook page.

Apart of Ongoing Initiative

The addition of St Vincent and the Grenadines to the network is a part of LIAT2020’s ongoing initiative to expand its reach across the Caribbean. The airline already serves the islands of Antigua, Dominica, Barbados, Saint Lucia, and St Kitts thereby bolstering inter-Caribbean connectivity throughout the region.

Reaction from Locals and Travel Enthusiasts

The newly launched airline has not yet revealed the flight schedule for its operation to the island nation, however, the announcement has sparked interest among locals and travel enthusiasts to experience seamless travel with LIAT 2020’s truthful and cheaper travel options.

Primer Minister’s Wish Realized

Prime Minister Ralph Gonsalves during the launch of LIAT 2020 in August extended his wishes to the airlines and also noted that LIAT 2020 will surely operate in the region. This announcement has then made the PM’s wish come true.

Airline’s Future Plans

Recently, the CEO of LIAT 2020, Hafsa Abdusalam during the launch of flights to St Kitts stated that the airline is looking forward to adding more destinations to its operating list including Grenada, Tortola, St. Maarten, Guyana, Trinidad, and Panama.

Commitment to Comfort and Affordability

Abdusalam further noted that LIAT 2020 is committed to providing all passengers with comfortable and memorable travel experiences at cheap and competitive ticket prices.

Background of the Airline

The Caribbean’s regional airline is a partnership with the government of Antigua and Barbuda and the Nigerian Airline, Air-Peace Limited. The famed airline was reportedly shut down in January of this year; however, the government of Antigua and Barbuda worked hard to restore the Caribbean airline to the skies. Following thorough conversations with important stakeholders, the government purchased the new aircraft through the Caribbean Development Bank and set it out for its official launch.

About the Airline’s Previous Journey

The airline began its trial flights in May 2024 and acquired its Air Operators Certificate in June 2024. The flight’s inauguration was then scheduled for August, and the airplane set off on its first voyage to Saint Lucia.

Conclusion

The launch of LIAT2020’s new route to St Vincent and Grenadines marks a significant step in the airline’s continued expansion across the Caribbean region. With its commitment to providing affordable and comfortable travel options, LIAT2020 is poised to provide a seamless travel experience to passengers.
