    That’s good news. I look forward to them expanding service to every island. That should either force LIAT out of business or allow them to step up their game.

    I traveled via Seaborne two weeks ago. Very reliable airline. They landed DA at the scheduled time. I was impressed with the service. The pilots seems to be great. This was one of my best landing in DA.

      well i dont think its wise to remove LIAT as it wouldnt have been wise if digicel had remove LIME cause they would do the same or worse with no competiton… so i think the competition is healthy it makes things run smoothly, LIAT would also pull up thier socks, cause they dont wanna be thrown of the market, SEABORNE would do well to take over the market.. all we need is competition competition competition!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
