MEET THE TEAM
INETA GRAHAM SAMUELI
DUTY MANAGER, CALL CENTRE
Nationality: Antiguan
How long have you been
working at LIAT? I started
on 30 November 1979,
so that makes 40 years
with LIAT. I’ve worked at
the traffic department, at
ticketing and now at the
Call Centre.
What do you love about
your job? My job is much
more than a pay cheque.
I get to assist, interact and
collaborate with some
awesome people – my
external and internal
customers. I am very
thankful for their loyalty.
And with team work, I
get to provide a solution
to their problems, which
motivates me to serve.
Favourite LIAT
destination: San Juan,
Puerto Rico – it’s my
gateway to more US
territories.
Favourite Caribbean
food: Seafood, any style,
and pepper pot and fungi.

FLYING
WITH WORDS
Last semester the students at the
Springer Memorial School in Barbados
were engaged in the LIAT ‘Fly with
Words’ Essay & Speech Competition.
Progress continues on
the Caribsky project,
which aims to connect
travellers across the
region. LIAT is working
with Air Antilles and
WINAIR to seamlessly
connect travellers to
destinations in the
combined network,
which spans over 35
airports, with the ease
of using one ticket.
CARIBSKY CONTINUES
The competition was aimed at getting
students to write or speak about any
of the other 14 destinations in the LIAT
network. First, Second and Third formers
were asked to write an essay while Fourth,
Fifth and Sixth formers were asked to do
a creative speech. Special congratulations
to Myeisha Bryan and Danica Estophile-
Duncan who won the essay competition
and speech competition respectively!
Myeisha and Danica each won four tickets
to any LIAT destination of their choice.
LIAT continues to support initiatives
such as these that help young persons to
explore and learn more about the region
they live in.
