LIAT 2020 is set to serve the Antigua\/St. Lucia route for the next two weeks, with plans to expand soon. CEO Hafsaf Abdulsalam announced on Tuesday that flights will be launched to five additional islands, including St. Lucia, Barbados, Grenada, Dominica, and St. Kitts and Nevis.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe will expand further into larger Caribbean territories in the south, adding 11 new destinations in September,\u201d Abdulsalam explained. The expansion will include Guyana and Trinidad and Tobago, and the airline plans to grow its fleet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBy 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\u2019s Cat 1 status, to Miami, Puerto Rico, and the British Virgin Islands,\u201d Abdulsalam said.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The CEO also emphasized that while ticket prices will remain competitive and affordable, the airline aims to be sustainable and profitable. They are seeking exemptions from other governments to benefit travelers.<\/p>
