Founded in 1972 by (Sir) Frank Delisle with a single twin-prop aircraft, Carib Aviation provided charter and scheduled flights throughout the Caribbean from its main base in Antigua.
The office facilities were at VC Bird International Airport, accommodating administration, accounts, operations and traffic departments.
An additional terminal office facility was located at Robert L. Bradshaw International Airport in Saint Kitts and Nevis.
Carib Aviation also operated the DOMINICA AIR TAXI service between Antigua, Saint Lucia and Canefield Airport as well as a local feeder for LIAT.
He accused LIAT of hiring seven of his Twin Otter pilots within a few days, breaking an agreement between the two airlines signed earlier in 2008 and leaving him with no choice but to stop all operations.
