ST JOHN’S, Antigua – Major disruption to a number of LIAT flights scheduled to depart Antigua today has been averted. OBSERVER media understands a last-minute attempt by LIAT CEO Ian Brunton to bring pilots back to the negotiating table was successful, after pilots had threatened to keep at least eight LIAT flights – due to depart Antigua this morning – on the ground. That event would have had major knock-on effects for LIAT and other airlines.
