LIAT has launched its new winter schedule, which will come into effect on September 15.

The airline has moved up the launch of its winter schedule due to the acceleration in the fleet transition process, as well as the current state of affairs in Dominica.

The schedule ensures that all critical flights required to maintain services to Dominica will be in place upon the reopening of the airport, according to the company.

Antigua will also benefit from daily nonstop service to and from San Juan, as well as an additional connection between the two three times a week.

Guadeloupe will also enjoy increased flight frequencies into the island, as a result of an increase in demand for flights to and from the French market.

LIAT is also adding an additional three flights per week between Trinidad and Guyana’s Ogle Airport.
