LIAT UNVEILS AIRCRAFT WITH SPECIAL DESIGN
ANTIGUA, St. Johns, April 10, 2008
In celebration of the 41st anniversary of the Stanford Antigua Sailing Week, sailboats will be travelling the skies. As a Silver Sponsor of the Stanford Antigua Sailing Week, LIAT has replaced the usual white fuselage on one of its Bombardier Dash 8 300 aircraft with a brightly coloured, nautical themed livery featuring sailboats on the ocean, as well as the Stanford Antigua Sailing Week logo.
The special livery was launched in a ceremony on March 15th at the V.C. Bird International Airport in Coolidge, Antigua, under the patronage of Stanford Antigua Sailing Week Chairman Neil Forrester, LIAT Chief Executive Officer Mark Darby, Antiguan Minister of Tourism the Honourable Harold Lovell and LIAT Chief Commercial Officer Leesa Parris-Rudder. Since the launch, the aircraft has taken to the skies with much buzz and excitement from those involved as well as aircraft enthusiasts, with images already appearing on popular websites. This unique livery is the first such undertaking for LIAT and has set precedence for similar undertakings in the future.
Both LIAT's team and the team from Stanford Antigua Sailing Week are very proud of this historical undertaking and view the livery as an opportunity to convey the energy of Sailing Week to customers boarding the plane or those who simply observe it as it travels its routes daily, between LIAT's 21 destinations.
Stanford Antigua Sailing Week will take place between April 27th and May 3rd, 2008.
