LIAT THE Caribbean Airline notes the suspension of REDjet’s flights from 11:59pm on 16th March until further notice.

For further information please contact the LIAT Call Center at (268) 480-5601/(268) 480-5602.
Didn’t I just read that the Government of Dominica has recently decided to make some sort of investment interest into Liat?
Facts: Liat has flown the Caribbean skies for over 50 years and is still flying and will be still flying for another 50..Liat with all its problems some of their own making beat every competetive airline that try to ground it.. And most if not all have had bigger bank accounts and lower fares that Liat. Yet they ceasing operations and Liat keeps flying on…Does the phrase ” The race is not for the swift but for those you can endure to the end”…God has blessed Liat tremendously…with a safety record 2nd to none….Its time we thank God that although Liat has had some really bad delays and lost baggage record…They are still flying up and down the caribbean skies….the new acronym for LIAT is Lasting In Air Travel…No baddy can stap we….Bravo Liat Brave may God continue to bless and keep you…Now I do have concerns for the jobs of the Redjet workers in these times but I know God will take care of them to…
RedJet has never and cannot service Dominica (at least not yet). Competition can be good but not easy in this business as we have seen a few airlines came then flew away. For other benefactors, let’s just hope that RedJet is only have a bad period.
To all the people commenting on LIAT’s extended tenure. While this is true REMEMBER LIAT IS HEAVILY SUBSIDIZES BY CARICOM GOVT.’s
*subsidized*
you need to get your facts straight. they buy into liat thats different from susidizing. its one thing to seat on the outside and run your mouth how an airline should opperate and its something totally different when you get into the game and find out how hard it is.. redjet found out just that. you cant come run an airline like a charity organisation. you have oppeerating cost to consider and all those things. if anything when liat was never properly capitalized in the begining coppled with bad leadership,but no one can deny that without liat we would be lost in the caribbean.
The only reason that Liât is still here and the Others are not, is because of the Governments protectionism of Liât.
If Liât were to do business on an equal , open playing field, it would not survive at all.
The Governments think that they are doing a favour to the people by protecting Liat, but they are not….they are just creating more chaos by creating more unemployment in the region.
governments proctection where? only 4 caribbean govenments have been pumping money into liat. what has liat still flying is its reputation for safety as an airline. liat is a brand. you have to earn your place and liat has done that
Redjets competitors are subsidized just like how chinese businesses here are subsidized…hence COMPETITORS ARE EVENTUALLY ELIMINATED
Hate liat still but o well sucks
no matter what I still think Liat is the worst airline company for some that flies 4 times a year for 17 years .I have had the unfortunate experience of flying with Liat always my luggage is left behind .I had to be the one calling them to be finding out about the wereabouts instead of them calling me these people still haven’t change since nanay kanel aye bondier
As the saying goes, never throw away the old broom for the new one because it knows the corners better. Thanks, liat for mopping up the mess.
DNO this is an ad Liat is broadcasting. This is a marketing campaign to boost their image in the Caribbean.
LIAT to the Rescue. Intra regional travel will never make it without LIAT- The caribbean airline. Yes we Leave Islands Any Time or we are the Leeward Islands Air Transport… But when EC Express left we took up the pieces, When Caribbean Star/Sun left we took up the pieces now RED Jet is leaving we are here to pick up the pieces again… so FLY LIAT and FLY the Caribbean… GOD Bless LIAT everyday. I GIVING LIAT ITS FLOWERS NOW…

Answer me this question please If you invested in something and some else come in and want to not invest with you but in their own thus resulting in direct competition with you. would you just say ok I will let you have a easy way to my territory or you gonna protect your investment to the end?????……You better go on your knees and thank God for Liat…Liat has done more for Caribbean integration than even the Politicians…Liat is a brand that cannot be erased from memory. And we do not have to change our name to get by…Liat is the Caribbean way of life…Now register that in your head
oh please…
I dont get it what has gone wrong with Redjet?
well done Liat,the caribbean airline and will always be thereafter to help
this is just a move to get Redjet out of business and to keep LIAT in the air, since LIAT is supported by the Caribbean governments, and Redjet is privately owned.
Boy these guys know how to play politics when the interests is in their pockets.
They playing the game well. After they bury them people, they playing savior
No airline can beat liat airlines!
i see Dominicans keeping silent on that news item. why aren’t those liat haters commenting. like i said before many have come and gone and liat remains. guess the redjet owners found out first hand that its not as easy as it seemed to get an airline off the ground and running. cudos to you liat for still coming to the aid of those who wish to see you out of the caribbean skies. just immagine what would have happend was there no liat to rescue all you.
It´s amazing that not one Dominica is commenting on this very serious situation that has just taken place. We have to be so careful with these new companies coming to offer us cheap services. I feel sorry for the many travelers who put their trust in this airline and are now tranded wherever. Thank God there is LIAT! N matter what we said about LIAT, it always comes through for us eventually. Let´s hope that that airline can put its house in order and provide the people with the services they promised.
Airlines come, airlines go….but LIAT flies on!
hmmm…. LIAT is speaking like that’s a big favour.I dont get it
red jet not easy………they doe even well start and they already have financial difficulties….where was the business plan???????
Mr PM you have eyes that can see very far, you are great.
Despite all the criticisms, LIAT i LOVE YOU !.. Continue serving us with safety at the top of your agenda,everything else should occupy second place.
