This launch follows a quick opening ceremony the place the Prime Minister of Antigua and Barbuda, Gaston Browne, together with different officers, expressed delight on this momentous event.

LIAT 2020 begins its operations with a fleet of seven plane, initially providing a restricted schedule of three flights per week between Antigua and Barbuda, St. Lucia, and Barbados.
