The newly-revived LIAT airline is adding new nonstop routes to four more Caribbean islands. LIAT 20, a rebirth of the former regional carrier, is adding new routes to St Kitts and Grenada, Barbados and St Lucia. That comes after LIAT marked its return with its inaugural flight between Antigua, St Lucia and Dominica.
“We are committed to making island-hopping more accessible and enjoyable for all,” a company spokesman said. LIAT 20 says it’s offering a Caribbean vacation for “EC$99 (US$37) plus taxes.”
But that’s a one-way fare. For a sample-round-trip fare, with taxes, that amounts to about $378 (US$138). The new LIAT will face the same challenges the old one did, of high intra-regional air taxes. But with fresh finance, a new energy and new strategies they intend not to repeat mistakes of old as intra-island travel increases.
