Industrial unrest at LIAT

LIAT has confirmed it is experiencing several flight delays and cancellations due to industrial unrest, according to a statement from Chief Executive Officer Julie Reifer-Jones. She warned that the current irregular operations may continue to occur over the next few days as the carrier works towards resolving the issues. “We remain committed to working with our employees to resolve the issues impacting the delivery of our services to the Caribbean,” Reifer-Jones said. Unions representing LIAT employees had earlier threatened to take action if LIAT goes ahead with plans to pay salaries late.
