The Caribbean Airline will on October 16, 2015 mark 59 years of continuous service.
For its birthday, LIAT is offering a 59% discount on tickets from 13:00 on Wednesday October 14 until 23:59 on Friday October 16.
The discount is not combinable with other promotional discounts currently on offer. Tickets purchased under the birthday discount must be used between October 14 and November 30, 2015.
Tickets can be booked on the website – liat.com, through the Call Centre, Airport Ticketing Offices or through your local Travel Agent. Seats are subject to availability and promotional terms and conditions apply.
Chief Executive Officer David Evans said LIAT is honoured to be of service to the Caribbean region for 59 years and it is only fitting to give back to the region with the 59% off 59th Birthday Discount.
LIAT, then an acronym for Leeward Island Air Transport Ltd., was founded in Montserrat in October 1956 by St. Kitts born Sir Frank Delisle.
Mr. Evans said LIAT has grown over the years and is now the main mode of transportation for people travelling between the islands.
“From a single Piper Apache aircraft in 1956, we now use nine state of the art ATR 600 series aircraft to fly thousands of people a year to 17 destinations around the region,” Mr. Evans said.
“Our loyal and dedicated staff have built an airline that, after 59 years, is still committed to the region; an airline that focuses on providing convenient air transport connections to the countries we serve.
“We thank you for your support over our last 59 years and look forward to celebrating many more years with you on board,” Mr. Evans added.
LIAT operates more than 500 flights per week from Puerto Rico in the north to Guyana in the south – providing the most extensive inter-island network of any carrier in our region. Last year LIAT carried over three quarters of a million passengers across its route network.
LIAT staff members will appear on television and radio programmes in Antigua, Barbados and Guyana throughout this week to share general information about the company including our routes.
Viewers and listeners will also get the opportunity to interact with the LIAT team members on air.
It’s not that difficult to get a better Airline. Liat has enjoyed the monopoly for the most part in the carribean, and has become comfortable with its poor service. What most people dont realize is that you can start the airline business without having to purchase planes. Planes are available for lease in the thousands. So if the carribean wanted a new airline they can get it. But it’s just business as usual. Leave island anytime . We don’t care, they need us we don’t care what time passengers get to their destination.
REALLY??????? I still trust LIAT to take me safely to anywhere in the region. YOU MUST BE CRAZY.
Hummingbird Crashed
CAL crashed in Guyana
AA had it’s share
LIAT STILL NUMBER ONE. Catch yall FIG BOAT BUT LEAVE OUR AIRLINE ALONE.
In the olden day, Dominicans accustom to take boat to travel so they won’t understand travel within the region.
59 years of misery for the Caribbean travellers. One day someone else will be competing against you Virgin did it with against BA.
Do you know that LIAT is the largest investment in the Caribbean? sakway sot. LIAT moves Caribbean suffering while you ……. goes to the states. Think about the BIG Picture.
59 years of coshony
The person name Jesus Christ is Lord, professes Christianity or a Catholic but they’re just fake. Look at your comment, you ought to be ashamed of yourself.
oh please
That’s my favorite Airline here. You have been through many storms, verbally and otherwise yet you still remained faithful in serving the region. I have been a supporter for 30 years with awesome memories from Dominica to Antigua even all the way to Guyana. Its often hard to see the Good in certain things but your service always gave me comfort to know that i’m safe in the air when i fly on LIAT The Caribbean Airline.
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU
Thanks, I appreciate your comment for being grateful and staying positive. Life is short, 59 years seems a long time but kudos to LIAT!! for persistence and perseverance despite the negative comments in serving Dominica and the remainder of the Caribbean.
Thanks for your consistency LIAT, never fail!!!
Big Supporter number2
Although I am not fully impress with LIAT in a general way , I must say that this is a feat in of itself to accomplish this mile stone but there is lot’s of room for improvement , lots of room . your best seems not to be good enough.
Grell,
And what do we have to replace it? Please tell me, sir!
Hotep!
59 years…wow…we’re happy to have something to call the Caribbean airlines but after 59 years of poor service we need something more reliable and wallet friendly.
59 years of nasty customer service, 59 years of delayed flights, 59 years of no improvements. I know that the only people celebrating are the big workers of Liat. DEFINITELY NOT the customers. And the only reason you last 59 years is because we Caribbean people don’t have enough choices.
SHAY. Is LIAT that make you know what outside of Dominica look like you primitive being from the BUSHES.
59 years of breast feeding.
59 nine years of poor service with no improvement insight,this lame duck airline should go out of business effective immediately.
Go out of business immediately, I fully endorse this idea. Hopefully it will be replaced by your very own GRELLAIRWAYS INTERNATIONAL, flying nonstop to all destinations at the attractive fare of one black cent
You’re soo off point.
This Duck Airlines will continue to serve yall Nasty nation of ungratefull people. You dont even know how to run your house and you criticizing other businesses.
