Buoyed by new investment, rebranded LIAT 20 Airline is scheduled to begin direct flights between Jamaica and Antigua on December 20, further strengthening regional air connectivity and enhancing Caribbean governments’ quest to promote multi-destination tourism.

According to CEO Hafsah Abdulsalam, the once-weekly service into Kingston will be price-competitive.

For Jamaicans, it’s an exciting opportunity for the options that are now being made available to them. So we’re offering affordable flights… At least on a route-per-route basis, our commitment is to offer better rates than the competition,” Abdulsalam told the Jamaica Observer on Sunday.

“We would like our Jamaican brothers and sisters to embrace LIAT, to try the product. I’m sure they would go back and advocate on our behalf ,” she said.

I remember back in the days with those scary LIAT landings into Dominica and St. Vincent, not for the faint of heart big grin

Why not Antigua to Mobay, would seem more viable.

Worst landing in the region for me remains St Maarten - jet or prop.

They are planning expansion to MoBay next year, for a piece of the tourism pie, 4 million visitors to Jamaica per year, is an attractive incentive.
