ST. JOHN’S, Antigua, June 18, 2010 – LIAT wishes to announce that its services have resumed throughout its network.
LIAT was forced to cancel all fights on Wednesday and Thursday because of industrial action taken by its pilots who are represented by the Leeward Islands Airline Pilots Association (LIALPA).
All affected passengers are being allowed to rebook without additional costs. LIAT cannot guarantee travel to passengers who turn up at the airport without confirmed bookings. Passengers are therefore urged to contact the LIAT Call Centre to rebook their flights (from Antigua - 480-5582; Toll free from the rest of the Caribbean - 1-888-844-5428; and from Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands 1-866-549-5428).
While the Company is doing everything to minimize the effect on passengers, they are being advised that for the rest of the day they should expect delays.
LIAT regrets and would like to apologise for the inconvenience to its customers/passengers who were affected by the disruption of its services.
