Malfunctioning avionics fan forces LIAT plane to return to Barbados

Oct 03, 2013

BRIDGETOWN, Barbados, CMC -- A LIAT DASH-8 aircraft was Wednesday afternoon forced to return to Barbados about midway into a flight to Guyana due to a problem with an "avionics fan".
The aircraft landed without incident around 3:12 p.m.(local time) and a fire tender was on standby on the apron.
The passengers, who 45 minutes earlier, had boarded Flight 521 for Guyana, disembarked in an orderly manner, after being informed that the aircraft was returning to the Sir Grantley Adams Airport.
