ST JOHN’S, Antigua – The arrival of the first new 68-seat LIAT ATR 72-600 aircraft at the VC Bird International Airport yesterday was hailed a “game changer” by LIAT Chief Executive Officer Ian Brunton.
Brunton said by updating the fleet, the airline will be able to lower fares, but not before 2015 at least.
“With airlines, the operating costs are really what grab you and the maintenance costs are so high on old airplanes,” he said.
