LIAT 2020’s application to operate in Guyana heads to Cabinet

10

The cabinet is preparing to look at the new LIAT 2020 airline’s application to begin operating in Guyana in the coming weeks. 

The new airline, which was formed following the collapse and closure of LIAT 1974, is already serving a number of Caribbean destinations and has been eyeing several others as it seeks to expand its service throughout the region.

Head of the Guyana Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA), Egbert Field, told Guyana News Source that the airline’s application was received and is being acted on at the GCAA’s level.

Just recently, the GCAA published a public notice informing of the airline’s application and seeking representation or objections from the public. 

It’s reported that a number of objections were received, but those were all in relation to the previous LIAT airline.

The new LIAT 2020 company is based in Antigua and Barbuda with the Government of Antigua and Barbuda maintaining majority ownership.

  1. what happened to my ticket flight never take off they told me to wait until liat airlines resume flight again

  2. Go to cabinet and pay the SEVERANCE TO THE AFFECTED WORKERS AND THE CONSUMERS WHO PURCHASED TICKETS.GUYANA is a SOVEREIGN COUNTRY and has all RIGHTS to implement checks and balance to protect its creditors and consumers, and also carry out a due DELIGENCE ON AIR PEACE.I would recommend that the workers,consumers and creditors learn to speak the NIGERIAN LANGUAGE.With AIR PEACE HOLDING 70% SHARES IN LIAT2020 and ANTIGUA minority share of30%.Therefore LIAT 2020 is owned by a NIGERIAN COMPANY.If the company goes bankrupt GASTON BROWN would tell you go to NIGERIA and COLLECT YOUR MONEY,like what he is doing to LIAT (1974)LTD workers.

  3. LIAT (1974) LTD IS not LIQUIDATED it is still under ADMINISTRATION awaiting a ruling from the ANTIGUA AND BARBUDA HIGH COURT.Can the GOVERNMENT OF ANTIGUA start another COMPANY WITH THE SAME ACRONYM LIAT WITH JUST A NUMBER CHANGE FROM 1974 TO 2020? If the GOVERNMENT OF ANTIGUA can do that therefore every year they can rob people put the COMPANY INTO ADMINISTRATION and start a new COMPANY same acronym LIAT with just a NUMBER CHANGE THAT IS WHAT YOU CALL A PONZI SCHEME.I can recall BWIA WAS LIQUIDATED AND A NEW COMPANY WAS FORMED NOW CARIBBEAN AIRLINES (CAL) .SUBJECT TO CORRECTION.

  4. The owner of AIR PEACE with 70% shareholding EQUITY IN LIAT 2020 Allen Onyema made his position clear that he is NOT RESPONSIBLE for any DEBTS incur by LIAT (1974) LTD.

  5. ANTIGUA GOVERNMENT IS FRONTING FOR AIR PEACE to keep the same LIAT (1974) LTD ANTIGUAN WORKERS EMPLOY.What about LIAT (1974) LTD owned by 4 CARICOM GOVERNMENTS NAMELY BARBADOS MAJOR SHAREHOLDER WITH 51% SHAREHOLDING EQUITY,ANTIGUA 32%,DOMINICA AND ST VINCENT THE REMAINING 17% SHAREHOLDING EQUITY.Claims that LIAT(1974) LTD IS a limited liability company and they are not obligated to pay severance. Yet the BARBADOS GOVERNMENT PAY THE BARBADOS BASE WORKERS AND BAJAN NATIONALS BASED IN ANTIGUA 100% SEVERANCE TELLING THE REST OF THE WORKERS IN THE OECS, GUYANA,USVI,PUERTO RICO,ST MARTEN ,BRITISH VIRGIN ISLANDS TO WAIT ON THE ANTIGUA AND BARBUDA HIGH COURT RULING.DISCRIMATION.INTER CARIBBEAN AIRLINES IS A SHELL COMPANY with NO ASSETS REGISTERED IN TURKS AND CAICOS NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED,ALSO THE FINANCES.

  6. The GOVERNMENT OF GUYANA needs to let AIR PEACE a NIGERIAN OWN COMPANY PAY FOR FUEL,LANDING FEES, HANDLING FEES ETCETERA WITH CASH NO CREDIT.Also DEPARTURE TAX should be PAID AT POINT OF DEPARTURE NOT INCORPORATED IN THE TICKET OR OPEN AN ESCROW ACCOUNT WITH THE BANK OF GUYANA AND DEPOSIT A REGULATED SET AMOUNT OF U.S DOLLARS, so if the AIRLINE goes BANKRUPT REFUNDS AND SERVICES PROVIDED WILL BE PROTECTED.THIS REQUIREMENT ALSO GO FOR INTER CARIBBEAN SUBSIDISED BY THE BARBADOS GOVERNMENT.IT IS ABOUT TIME AVIATION IN THE SO CALLED CARICOM COUNTRIES NEEDS TO BE REGULATED.NOTE:THE OWNER OF AIR PEACE WITH 70% SHAREHOLDING EQUITY IN LIAT 2020 ALLEN ONYEMA MADE HIS POSITION CLEAR THAT HE IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DEBTS INCUR IN LIAT (1974) LTD.THEREFORE TICKET HOLDERS YOU ARE NOT GOING TO GET BACK A REFUND.

  7. Ticket holders you should at least get back the DEPARTURE TAX that money should be in the ANTIGUA GOVERNMENT COFFERS or GB POCKET.
