LIAT refutes LIALPA’s claim

ST JOHN’S, Antigua, May 22 2017 – Region airline LIAT Monday refuted a statement by the Leeward Island Airline Pilots Association (LIALPA), in which the union accused the airline’s Management of acting in bad faith.

Acting Chief Executive Officer Julie Reifer-Jones said LIAT continues to commit itself to open dialogue with its employees and their union representatives and for continued discussion to achieve a mutually agreeable outcome for all parties.

“LIAT also continues to assure its passengers that it is committed to ensuring smooth operations for our customers across the region,” Reifer-Jones said.

Earlier on Monday LIALPA said its relationship with the airline is at an “all-time low” and it was giving the company a 10-day ultimatum to honour a five-month-old wage agreement.
