Services

It operated charter flights from Montserrat to Antigua four times daily, and had plans to add flights to other islands including St. Kitts, Nevis, Guadeloupe and St. Maarten.

In 2007 the airline's website was changed to state "Because we were unable to provide our customers with the high level of service that we previously anticipated, Air Montserrat has ceased further operation."[1]

The airline is now defunct. It ceased all operations in 2007.

Brief history

This is not the first airline to be based on Montserrat. Before the island's W. H. Bramble Airport closed in 1997, it was home to Montserrat Airways. Also in 1956 charter flights from an airstrip in Olveston (a village in Montserrat) were started. This charter service later became the Leeward Islands Air Transport (LIAT).
