LIAT continues relief efforts into Dominica

Regional carrier LIAT continued its hurricane relief efforts Saturday with a flight into the Douglas Charles Airport in Dominica.

The relief flight not only brought in supplies to the north of Dominica, but also flew in members of the Antigua and Barbuda Defence Force and the Antigua and Barbuda Fire Service.

It also carried in officials from the Eastern Caribbean Civil Aviation Authority (ECCAA) who were able to do assessments of the airport facilities.

LIAT said the flight formed part of its commitment to assist hurricane affected islands in the region.

The airline is currently working on a schedule to aid in delivering relief supplies as well as allowing passengers and persons from Dominica to fly out to other destinations.
