LIAT ‘70
Leeward
Islands Air Transport
As this is the 50th
anniversary of the Antigua Sailing week we will fly a couple of the routes of
LIAT, or Leeward Islands Air Transport, in the Caribbean.
LIAT were founded in 1956 in Antigua
and are currently owned by owned by seven Caribbean governments.
The flights below came from the May ’70
timetable from www.timetableimages.com
.
These routes were flown using de
Havilland Herons and Britten-Norman Islanders and Trislanders.
Later the airline used Hawker Siddeley HS748, de
Havilland DHC-6 Twin Otter, DHC-8 and ATR 42/72 aircraft.
For a brief period in the ‘70s they did
operate jet aircraft – the BAC 111 500 series – which were supplied by the
Court Line when they owned part of the airline. Apart from that interlude they
have always operated propeller aircraft.
