LIAT’s return to service will play a central role in distributing passengers across the Caribbean once direct flights between Africa and Antigua begin, the Governor General announced Thursday during the Throne Speech at the opening of Parliament.
Sir Rodney Williams said the revival of LIAT marks “living proof of the sustainability of a carrier that was once portrayed as a dead horse,” and positioned the airline as a key connector for travellers arriving on Air Peace’s planned route from the African continent.
According to the address, LIAT’s expanded operations will allow Antigua and Barbuda to serve as a regional hub, routing African tourists and business travellers to neighbouring islands—an outcome the government views as a major economic opportunity for the wider Eastern Caribbean.
Sir Rodney said the airline’s new trajectory is part of a broader recovery in the aviation sector, noting that LIAT Air is already expanding to destinations outside the Eastern Caribbean.
He framed its resurgence as a strategic asset that strengthens Antigua’s role in interregional travel and supports tourism growth across multiple markets.
The Throne Speech also tied LIAT’s revival to the government’s ongoing investment in infrastructure, including runway resurfacing at V.C. Bird International Airport and major upgrades to roads and utilities that support increased passenger movement.
With Air Peace expected to commence regular flights to Antigua, officials say LIAT’s network will be critical to distributing incoming visitors efficiently throughout the Caribbean.
Sir Rodney described the airline’s renewed mission as a “phoenix” rising to meet the next phase of regional air connectivity.

The fraudsters are gaining momentum. Governor how do you sleep at nights knowing the drowning of the Africans off St. kitts as they were been smuggled out of Antigua was not thoroughly investigated along with the Antigua Airways Scam?

I have no problem with Africans coming to Antigua and Barbuda to visit, but I hope it will be the good Africans and the visa waiver will be a mutual thing if the government decide to waiver visa for Africans and it’s not a one way thing. As an Antiguan who travel to different parts of Africa I have to pay high visa prices and in reality as a black person we are not always embraced by many Africans when we visit. Just talking facts, but I will still go to other countries in Africa despite the self hatred of dark skin.
