Antigua and Barbuda<\/a><\/strong>\u2019s Prime Minister Gaston Browne<\/a><\/strong> has unveiled ambitious plans for LIAT\u2019s expansion<\/a><\/strong>, including potential flights to Panama and Miami, while dismissing concerns about competition from new airlines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Five years after taking over ownership of the cash-strapped LIAT (1974) Ltd, replacing it with LIAT2020 in partnership with Nigerian carrier Air Peace, Browne insisted that the LIAT remains the backbone of regional air travel and pledged continued efforts to keep the airline flying.<\/p>

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

On the sidelines of the CARICOM summit on Thursday, Browne reinforced to reporters St John\u2019s commitment to strengthening intra-regional transport, both by securing LIAT\u2019s future and pushing for a long-overdue regional ferry system.<\/p>

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

Asked about reports of a potential new regional airline, Browne said he was unaware of any new developments but was unconcerned, maintaining that LIAT\u2019s reliability and deep regional integration give it an unmatched advantage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAirlines come and airlines go. We know that LIAT is a constant. So, if you\u2019re talking about reliability, LIAT will always be there. And we are committed to ensuring that we keep LIAT in the sky,\u201d he said.<\/p>

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

Browne confirmed that LIAT2020 currently has four aircraft in the schedule with two more expected to come online soon, bringing the total to six.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A seventh aircraft should be added later this year, allowing LIAT to expand beyond the Caribbean.<\/p>

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

\u201cWe expect to pursue extra-regional flights, probably to Panama and maybe into Miami as well when we resume the Category 1 status,\u201d he said.<\/p>

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

Category 1 status, awarded by the US Federal Aviation Administration, indicates that a country\u2019s civil aviation authority complies with International Civil Aviation Organisation safety standards, allowing its airlines to operate direct flights to the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite LIAT\u2019s progress, questions remain about its financial sustainability and regional support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Antigua and Barbuda has shouldered much of the burden for the airline\u2019s revival, with Browne previously urging other CARICOM nations, including Barbados, to invest more in keeping LIAT afloat. The airline collapsed In July 2020 after Barbados and St Vincent and the Grenadines voted in favour of liquidating the airline, while Antigua and Barbuda sought to reorganise it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following a meeting in 2020, both Bridgetown and Kingstown agreed to transfer their shares to St John\u2019s for a nominal sum, effectively withdrawing from ownership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Browne also addressed the long-delayed regional ferry service, acknowledging repeated setbacks but noting its importance for trade, travel, and regional integration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSea transportation is quintessential to the movement of goods, and even to people as well,\u201d he declared. \u201cWe want to see a situation in which we have these ferries, where Caribbean citizens can travel easily between countries, even drive their vehicles across borders.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While St John\u2019s is not one of the ports involved in the ferry discussions, Browne stressed that all CARICOM nations stand to benefit from improved maritime connectivity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He proposed using funds from the European Union Economic Partnership Agreement (EPA) with the Caribbean to finance the ferry project, rather than relying solely on national budgets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cUp to today, Antigua and Barbuda recommended that we should utilise the proceeds [from the EPA], not necessarily for national initiatives, but to look at the common areas of need within CARICOM, including transportation and renewable energy,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He argued that redirecting EPA funds could provide the necessary financing to finally make the regional ferry service a reality. (BARBADOS TODAY)<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
