The government of Antigua and Barbuda has announced that it plans to challenge the expansion of Caribbean Airlines (CAL) into the Eastern Caribbean, which would harm the regional airline LIAT 2020.
The Cabinet issued a statement after its weekly meeting stating that it had taken note of CAL’s growth plans, including its purchase of several ATR aircraft that the company plans to use on routes currently serviced by LIAT 1974 Ltd.
The statement claims that Trinidad and Tobago, whose leaders are determined to capture the aviation services that Antigua and Barbuda once exported, has no interest in reviving LIAT.
Lionel Hurst, Chief of Staff in the Office of the Prime Minister, confirmed that LIAT 2020 is expected to be fully operational by Christmas, but that Antigua and Barbuda will not allow CAL to expand in the region without a fight.
