(Dominica News Online) The Information Minister in Antigua and Barbuda, Melford Nicholas has said that he has received confirmation that LIAT could return to the skies in the “new month”.
While Nicholas did not give specific dates, he said it was that country’s Prime Minister Gaston Browne who confirmed that LIAT will begin its rescheduled services in October.
According to Nicholas, “there are still operational issues that are being worked out” but the conditions are going to be in place for LIAT to take to the skies.
After previously supporting recommendations for liquidation of LIAT, governments of Barbados and St Vincent have agreed to transfer their shares in the company “for the grand sum of $1 each” per share to Antigua and Barbuda, as the airline moves forward with a reorganization plan that could see it back in the skies in 60 – 90 days.
