-Antigua PM lauds development

The inaugural flight of LIAT (2020) touched down at CJIA  yesterday from Antigua and the development was hailed by the Prime Minister of that country who underlined its importance to regional connectivity.

Prime Minister of Anti-gua and Barbuda, Gaston Browne, who arrived on the flight, stated that “with the return of LIAT following two failed attempts LIAT 2020 is better especially if one is to consider the prior iterations, and that the airline at some point could not afford to pay for its liabilities”. He stated that the airline is now more efficient. Browne also added that LIAT is an essential institution as it provides sustainable connectivity for Caribbean people.
