Antigua St John's - LIAT has responded to concerns that the recent suspension of flights by REDjet could lead to an escalation in air fares for regional travel.

The airline on Wednesday informed its customers and the general travelling public that it has "no intention of seeking to take advantage of the suspension of services by REDjet to alter its fares in a manner that would result in any unnecessary increase in ticket prices".

Corporate Communications Manager Desmond Brown pointed out that since the suspension of flights by REDjet, there has been no increase in the fares offered by LIAT.

 
“In fact, to the contrary, LIAT has intensified its campaign to provide discounted seats for regional travel beginning with a series of special fares offered to distressed REDjet passengers,” Brown said.
 
He noted that LIAT is very conscious of its central role in air transportation in the region, "and continues to do all possible within its constraints to provide the public with affordable fares".
 
He further pointed out that as is the case with other airlines, LIAT’s tickets are sold in several fare classes from the lowest to the highest class.
 
“Each seat is allocated and sold in a particular fare class on each flight. LIAT has not reallocated the number of seats available in its various fare classes for any flight since 16 March 2012 at 8:00 pm,” Brown said.
