LIAT's CEO Mark Darby noted of the airline's involvement in the Stanford Antigua Sailing Week that "LIAT is extremely pleased to be associated with an event that has such a rich history and is regarded as one of the premier yacht racing events on the circuit. the quest for excellence, as the more than 200 crews vie for the ultimate glory of being masters at their various challenges, is certainly a concept that LIAT identifies with. Add to that the thrill of competition on the sparkling blue Caribbean Sea and the ongoing wild cheers of the supporters soaking in the sun and availing themselves of the delicacies the island has to offer and we have a week of bliss - it is the Caribbean on show. It is the Caribbean that LIAT flies"
