LIAT hires more crew to fly Dash-8 planes
Jul 26, 2013
ST JOHN’S, Antigua – Chief Executive Officer of LIAT, Ian Brunton, has confirmed the regional carrier has enlisted “contract crews” to replace former Dash-8 pilots who are now flying new ATR aircraft.
The “new” hires will fly the older planes in LIAT’s fleet, but Brunton has told the travelling public that it will be another “two to three weeks” before they’re pressed into service as they have to “satisfy the regulatory system.”
“It was not an overnight thing,” the CEO, who was a guest on the Voice of Barbados call in programme yesterday, said.
