ST JOHN’S, Antigua, Jun 9 2017 – LIAT has announced that it has reached a settlement with its pilots which includes an end to the current industrial action and impasse.
In a statement late this evening, the company said it is now working to restore normal operations and will be working to assist passengers in rebooking to restored services.
A strike by LIAT pilots persisted for a third straight day, with their union, the Leeward Islands Airline Pilots’ Association (LIALPA), refusing to back down from its position that its members will not operate the ATR 72 series aircraft over pay issues dating back to 2013.
Details of the settlement have not been released.
