At a welcome reception at the airport VIP terminal, Abdulsalam said the expansion reflects LIAT’s ongoing commitment to connecting more communities and providing essential air travel options for customers.
Adding St Vincent and other new destinations to LIAT 20’s network demonstrates the airline’s dedication to enhancing connectivity and accessibility across the region.
Passengers can now enjoy the convenience of flying with LIAT 20 to several vibrant and culturally rich destinations.
According to her, LIAT 20 remains focused on delivering high-quality service, and expanding its network further solidifies its position as a leading regional carrier.
“We’re not just seeking flights into St Vincent. When I talk about establishing a hub, we are seeking to establish a hub here to foster the movement of cargo, businesses, and students, and families alike as well.”
Prime Minister Ralph Gonsalves of St Vincent and the Grenadines commended his Antiguan counterpart, Prime Minister Gaston Browne, for his unwavering faith in the project and expressed willingness to join in supporting efforts to keep the new airline in the skies.
