Up to four LIAT workers on the island and many more in the region will have to wait longer than expected to know their fate with the company as turbulent times lie ahead for them.
As part of cost-cutting measures LIAT has announced plans to close its city offices in some Caribbean islands including Dominica.
Secretary Treasurer of the union representing LIAT workers on the island, Kertiste Augustus, said it is still not clear when the closure could commence since LIAT have not yet advised the unions representing workers.
“It is strange that this is hitting the airwaves and LIAT unions have not been informed. We know from discussions that there are plans to close the offices in the region but discussion are still continuing,” he pointed out.
so tell me this now when u have ah problem missing bag and all that u have to travel to melville hall to deal with that shit …..Liat dont know what hell they doing high prices sending home workers hmm more money for d big bosses yes….hurry caribbean airlines hurrry
Just the begining..The writing is on the wall..What’s next?
liat has used Caribbean people to much we stood with them through it all they ungrateful i am not surprised somebody wants to pocket some sort of money , you mean to tell me liat cost off traveling is so damn expensive form there to there and one has to pay all that money ? gas expensive but hey they do not have to charge one person all that money for an hour flight. that is why i vex Stanford gone jail because when they had competition with Caribbean star we could all see that they could have done better with the prices i love liat because it our airline CARIBBEAN AIR LINE but let them go and do their damn bizniz them to wicked

We Vincentian are so tired with Liat changing, we are shareholders..! Believed us, we can’t take it anymore; we are not getting what we are paying for. Our international airport will complete early next year, and I already hearing a group of Vincentian is looking to have an airline company. Can’t wait to bury Liat… take a look at this animation video

Liat sucks Period!! cant care less.
they better say when they closeing in d/ca cause i done buy my ticket to come home on vacation in july.OK Or i want my money back.
You should still be able to purchase tickets online. But in accordance to what you are saying, i do not believe the office closures should affect LIAT’s aircrafts from landing or else this would not be a cost cutting measure. They would loose more if flights are to cease from coming into Dominica or any other island where they will be closing offices.
They are closing city offices. You will still be able to buy your ticket online, from your travel agent and from the liat booth at the airport.
Read and understand. Closing of “city” offices has nothing to do with you on a pre- purchased ticket! It simply means that future transactions to travel via LIAT will have to be done at the counter in the airport!!! So come from SXM to DA and spend the Euro.
shame on LIAT, after being bailed out of the red so many times, yet, what should one expect, even though more money is pumped into the Airline, the same people who badly managed it are still the same ones running it. This is going down the same road all over.
Jobs for some boys I say.
They also need to quote prices in East Caribbean Dollars!
I hope this well open everyone eyes, who loves to spray ignorant across Dominica, that we need the government to start looking for lands to build an international airport…
Wish I could make sense of what you are trying to say.
I agree with you. Does everything have to be politics?
