SOURCE: JAMAICA OBSERVER-<\/em><\/strong> Buoyed by new investment, rebranded LIAT 20 Airline is scheduled to begin direct flights between Jamaica and Antigua on December 20, further strengthening regional air connectivity and enhancing Caribbean governments\u2019 quest to promote multi-destination tourism.<\/strong><\/p>

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

According to CEO Hafsah Abdulsalam, the once-weekly service into Kingston will be price-competitive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFor Jamaicans, it\u2019s an exciting opportunity for the options that are now being made available to them. So we\u2019re offering affordable flights\u2026 At least on a route-per-route basis, our commitment is to offer better rates than the competition,\u201d Abdulsalam told the Jamaica Observer<\/strong> on Sunday.<\/p>

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

\u201cWe would like our Jamaican brothers and sisters to embrace LIAT, to try the product. I\u2019m sure they would go back and advocate on our behalf ,\u201d she said.<\/p>

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

\u201cAt the moment we\u2019ve got Trinidad and Guyana planned and we would expand that as we grow the market as well. So what we\u2019re targeting is to pair the routes where we see the biggest demand for passengers on both sides of the aisle. So we know there is demand between Trinidad and Jamaica for instance, we want to be able to offer additional lift for passengers that will be flying on that route. So Jamaicans have got options and are not limited to just one or two flight options out of Jamaica at the moment,\u201d Abdulsalam said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 67-year-old airline had ceased operations in January, this after its major shareholders \u2014 the governments of Antigua and Barbuda, Barbados, Dominica, and St Vincent and the Grenadines \u2014 took a decision in 2022 to liquidate the debt-ridden carrier and transfer its assets to a new entity called LIAT 2020 Limited.<\/p>

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

At the time, the airline was reported to have debt exceeding US$37 million.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, with almost EC$200 million invested in LIAT 2020, Antigua and Barbuda Prime Minister Gaston Browne last month described it as the best-capitalised airline operating in the Caribbean today.<\/p>

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

Since its relaunch, LIAT 20, with a fleet of six aircraft, has been providing service from its hub in St John\u2019s, Antigua, to 10 destinations in the Caribbean.<\/p>

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

\u201cWe fly up north into St Kitts, St Maarten, Tortola\u2026 and then down south we\u2019re flying into Dominica, St Vincent, St Lucia, Barbados, Grenada, Guyana,\u201d Abdulsalam said, adding that the Trinidad route will be introduced on December 19, a day before the Jamaica service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The carrier\u2019s re-entry to Caribbean skies comes as another regional airline, Bahamasair, commenced twice-weekly flights between Nassau and Montego Bay last month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At that time Jamaica\u2019s Tourism Minister Edmund Bartlett welcomed the service, which moves passengers between both destinations on Thursdays and Sundays, saying it will enhance multi-destination tourism in the Caribbean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Sunday, Abdulsalam said that although LIAT 20\u2019s Kingston service will target business travellers, the airline has its eyes set on the tourism market and as such intends to expand to Montego Bay in the new year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSo whilst we are catering for the business community, we also want to cater for the leisure community as well because we see the tourists are more keen to visit Montego Bay. So we\u2019ve got plans to fly directly into that route as well, via Antigua,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The CEO explained that because there are other routes connecting into Antigua, the airline will be seeking to connect from the southern Caribbean up to Jamaica, and by the start of the new year the carrier intends to implement direct flights from all the destinations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Abdulsalam said that in tandem with the rebranded airline \u2014 which has new ownership, new management, a new philosophy, and is seeking to drive new culture \u2014 passengers can now expect better quality service that will be safe, reliable, and enhance customer experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSo from that perspective we\u2019re seeking to up the game, to up the ante for what regional travel looks like\u2026 We\u2019ve noticed that our entry into the market has already sparked some change in service delivery from our competitors as well. I mean, none of the regional carriers was offering, say, meal service on board,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBut now some of the main competitors have started to offer a snack\u2026 So what we\u2019re bringing is competition to the market, which ultimately benefits the consumers,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

LIAT 2020 is a 30\/70 joint venture partnership between the Antigua and Barbuda Government and Air Peace Caribbean Limited, a private company based in Antigua.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The carrier has operating bases at VC Bird International Airport in St John\u2019s, Antigua and Argyle International Airport in St Vincent and the Grenadines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
