Director of Cargo and Quikpak Wilbur Edwards said the response to the Barrel Special, which was first introduced in December 2011, was very good and with LIATâs increased passenger services to San Juan this summer, the decision was taken to bring it back.
âWe have decided to bring back the special on barrels to satisfy customers throughout the LIAT network who traditionally head to San Juan to shop at this time of the year for back to school and other supplies,â Edwards said.
âCustomers can pack a barrel up to 200 pounds and pay only US$100 on the freight charge.
âIn addition to persons shopping for their homes, we want to invite the business community to make use of our service to ship car parts, food stuff, clothing, and even moderately sized building materials,â Edwards added.
The Barrel Special, which is now in effect, will run until further notice. LIAT launched its dedicated freighter service in February 2011, using a Dash 8-100 aircraft with a capacity of 7,500 pounds.
