Caribbean Airlines (CAL), based in Trinidad, is set to expand its passenger and cargo operations across the Caribbean region.
The expansion, which will include new aircraft, threatens the efforts of the Antigua and Barbuda government to revive LIAT 2020, a once-premier regional carrier.
Trinidad and Tobago’s Finance Minister, Colm Imbert, revealed this development during his budget presentation, aiming to return CAL’s fleet size to pre-pandemic levels.
CAL plans to lease four ATR aircraft, three Boeing 737-8s, and five Embraer E175 commercial jets.
This move comes after CAL’s recent route expansions, potentially challenging LIAT 2020’s revival.

When are you planning to start flying to st thomas usvi.
Who writes these BS articles as news??? How could CAL cause a problem to LIAT that is dead. CAL would be addressing the serious need for intra regional transport that LIAT never properly fulfilled… The regional governments all gave their LIAT shares to Antigua and it did nothing to keep it afloat except not pay people and bankruptcy. LIAT should sell them planes and close down and send all them useless office jobs home, they cannot even answer they phones… LIAT Antigua is the biggest joke in the Caribbean…
Move to the head of the class, what else do expect from someone who can’t keep his marriage sacred
CAL who expect you to sit back with your years of experience and expertise, to let Virgin & Mia and GB & Air Peace take over the region! Not T&T!
Wish GB had real balls, he would join T&T with the Northern Gateway!

“The regional governments all gave their LIAT shares to Antigua and it did nothing to keep it afloat except not pay people and bankruptcy.”
Do you feel good spreading and telling lies? Gaston Browne challenged them to give him their shares and he would do with LIAT what he thought was right. To date they have refused. Instead, they insist on the liquidation of LIAT 1974. That is why Gaston Browne has to continue with LIAT 2020. And they are not even interested in investing in LIAT 2020. Thank God the Nigerian option came along. Let’s see who will win in the end. I bet on my country and my PM. Jamaica and Trinidad had it out more than once already regarding Caribbean Airlines. And look how much money they are losing. They have laid off thousands of workers during Covid and their pilots have them in court now. Although the courts prevented them from striking.
