LIAT Air has announced plans to expand its route network into Central and South America from 2026, with Panama, Belize and Colombia among the destinations under consideration.<\/p>

The airline\u2019s chief financial officer, Kunle Ibrahim, said the expansion would build on recent growth aimed at improving links between the Eastern Caribbean and major regional hubs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The plans follow LIAT\u2019s first flight to the Dominican Republic, with Santo Domingo becoming the carrier\u2019s latest destination. The addition brings LIAT\u2019s network to 17 destinations across 14 countries.<\/p>

Mr Ibrahim described the Dominican Republic as a key market, highlighting its importance for tourism, trade and onward international travel. He said the airline was also exploring the possibility of serving other airports within the country.<\/p>

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

The proposed expansion into Latin America would mark a significant step for LIAT, strengthening air connections beyond the Caribbean and supporting increased movement of people, goods and services across the region.<\/p>\n
