Some good news from LIAT: To move cargo into the US
For the first time since the terrorist attacks in the United States on September 11 2001, Leeward Islands Air Transport (LIAT) will be able to move cargo into the United States.
This development has now allowed LIAT to now expand its service offerings in time for the lucrative holiday season. The airline launched its inaugural dedicated all-cargo freighter service into San Juan, Puerto Rico last week in what has been described as a “significant milestone” in its 56-year history.
LIAT launched its dedicated freighter service February 2011. The company’s dedicated freighter aircraft has a capacity of 3400 kilogrammes.
LIAT, the Caribbean’s main intra-regional carrier, is owned by regional shareholders, with major shareholders being the Governments of Barbados, Antigua & Barbuda and St. Vincent & the Grenadines.
