ST.
JOHN’S ANTIGUA, November 25, 2020 – LIAT, The
Caribbean Airline, will begin its commercial schedule on November 30th
with flights operating to a limited number of destinations.
The airline will
operate flights five days a week to seven destinations across the LIAT network.
The seven destinations are: Antigua, Barbados, Dominica, Grenada, St. Lucia,
St. Kitts, and St. Vincent. The limited schedule of flights will return
connectivity to these destinations which were impacted by the airline’s
suspension of commercial services.
LIAT will
announce shortly the addition of other destinations to the schedule for
December 2020.
The airline has
completed all the training and regulatory requirements for the territories for
the November 30th start. Also, several new procedures have been
implemented to ensure the safety of staff and
passengers as well as reduce the risk of transmission of COVID-19.
These include the mandatory wearing of masks at check-in and onboard,
enhancement in its cleaning and sanitization protocols and new boarding
procedures.
Passengers will
be able to book flights via the LIAT website (www.liat.com) or the Reservations Call Centre. The airline has
also published its policy for persons who will want to utilise their credits to
book flights during the new limited schedule. However, passengers seeking
refunds will have to await the outcome of the Administration process.
The airline,
which is currently under administration, is being restructured following a
decision by the Government of Antigua and Barbuda to reorganise the airline.
