LIAT industrial action update: Normal operations resuming

(Barbados Nation) – Stranded Leeward Islands Air Transport (LIAT) passengers got some relief yesterday when previously grounded aircraft took to the skies; and management expects normal activity to resume in two days.

A sick-out by pilots, which started Tuesday, remained in limited effect, but pilots reported for work and flights were able to operate.

Passengers were advised that because the action was continuing, there might be further cancellations or rescheduling of flights throughout the day however.

LIAT’s chief executive officer Brain Challenger said stranded passengers were given priority when flights resumed.
