LIAT is adding a new international link to its network this winter, with the launch of twice-weekly flights connecting Antigua, Dominica and Punta Cana beginning Dec. 16. The service will operate every Tuesday and Saturday, offering travelers in the Eastern Caribbean a new gateway to one of the region’s most popular beach destinations.

The route will run from Antigua to Dominica before continuing on to Punta Cana, with return flights operating along the same pattern.

The schedule is designed to create smooth intra-Caribbean connections while providing a direct link to the Dominican Republic’s tourism hub.

The addition marks a significant step in LIAT’s ongoing effort to rebuild and expand its regional reach, adding new leisure-focused options for travelers and improving access across neighboring islands.

With the new service, Punta Cana becomes one of the most easily reached destinations from Antigua and Dominica, giving travelers a convenient connection to the area’s resorts, beaches and hospitality infrastructure as the peak travel season approaches.
