Published 7 June 201

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.
