Strengthening the relationship between LIAT and Grenada topped the agenda, as the regional carrier’s chairman Dr Jean Holder met with the island’s Prime Minister Tillman Thomas recently.

The airline assured the prime minister that LIAT was prepared to work with Grenada to service both the island’s travel needs and support its tourism developments. To further strengthen this commitment talks were also held with the Grenada Tourism Authority.  

Thomas said his government was committed to regional institutions and promised to provide whatever support was possible and necessary for improving the operations of the airline.

Meanwhile, Holder said it was high time other governments supported the regional carrier. “Everybody should come on board,” he said. “Regional governments must analyse the real cost of air transportation and have a more in-depth understanding of the challenges faced by LIAT.”
