Historia de LIAT

LIAT (Leeward Islands Air Transport) is an airline headquartered on the grounds of V. C. Bird International Airport in Antigua, and has a base at Grantley Adams International Airport, Barbados. LIAT operates high-frequency inter-island scheduled services to a number of destinations in the Caribbean.

The airline was founded in 1956, beginning flights soon after between Antigua and Montserrat. Within the subsequent 10 years, the airline gained new shareholders, meaning it was able to expand its routes around the Caribbean with new aircraft types. In 2007, LIAT announced a merge with Caribbean Star Airlines, combining their schedule and flying under the LIAT brand.

The airline is owned by seven Caribbean governments, with the major shareholders being Barbados, Antigua & Barbuda and St. Vincent and the Grenadines.
