LIAT regrets to advise our passengers that
industrial action has been taken today by the members of the Leeward Islands
Airline Pilots Association (LIALPA). In the ongoing negotiations for higher wages,
which includes the operation of the ATR aircraft, the pilots have taken action to
refuse to fly the ATR 72 aircraft until agreement is reached. As a consequence of
this action we have not been able to operate flights scheduled with ATR 72 aircraft
at this time. These actions have already resulted in a number of delays and
cancellations.
The following flights have been cancelled:
LI 560 from St. Vincent to Barbados
LI 300 from Barbados to Tortola
LI 301 from Tortola to Barbados
LI 512 from Antigua/St. Kitts/Tortola
We strongly advise our passengers to contact LIAT’s Call Centre for rebooking or
advice on travel.
