Fleet
LIAT (IATA: LI, ICAO: LIA) is a Caribbean regional carrier headquartered in Antigua and Barbuda. Established in 1956, the airline has operated for nearly seven decades as a key transportation link across the Eastern Caribbean islands, serving routes that connect smaller island communities with major regional hubs.
The airline operates from two main bases: VC Bird International Airport in Antigua and Barbuda, and Argyle International Airport. These hubs position LIAT as a vital connector within the Leeward and Windward Islands network, facilitating both passenger and essential regional air service.
LIAT's fleet comprises modern regional aircraft: the ATR 42 turboprop and the Embraer ERJ 145 jet. These aircraft are well-suited to the airline's network of island destinations, with the ATR 42 serving shorter regional hops and the ERJ 145 supporting longer routes within the Caribbean.
