ST JOHN’S, Antigua- LIAT, Wednesday, apologised to customers for its “numerous” flight delays and cancellations over the past few weeks and sought to give explanations.
A press statement quoted Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of LIAT Ian Brunton as saying the disruptions were caused by a combination of factors and that the airline is taking “urgent and decisive” steps to address its issues.
“These include, among other things, an increase in unscheduled maintenance at a time when our schedule calls for maximum aircraft availability; crew shortages; bad weather; airport limitations; and delays in obtaining licences for operating our new ATR aircraft in some territories,” Brunton reportedly said.
