ST. JOHN’S, Antigua, August 04, 2011 – – LIAT wishes to advise that its operations at the Maurice Bishop International Airport (MBIA) are expected to return to normal following the end of industrial action by its employees at the MBIA at 3:00pm on Thursday 4th August.
Corporate Communications Manager Desmond Brown said LIAT will resume full services to/from Grenada by Friday 5th August 2011. He said, where possible, the airline will seek to add capacity to meet the demand for seats to Grenada which is about to commence its 2011 Carnival celebrations.
LIAT wishes to remind passengers who were affected by the recent disruptions who wish to rebook for a later date that they will be allowed to do so without charge for a period of one week from the date of their scheduled travel. Following the one-week grace period, passengers will be required to pay applicable fare and change fees when re-booking.
Come on LIAT, where is the other part of the story. Please tell, spill it out. Did the employees just simply “go back to work”? I don’t think so. What amount did you have to pay out to them, and when will you stick that cost into passengers tickets?
