The grounded aircraft<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The Prime Minister of Antigua and Barbuda, Gaston Browne, has expressed his concern about the safety of InterCaribbean Airlines’ flights following a series of technical issues that have caused passengers anxiety.<\/p>\n

In the latest incident, Flight 713 to Barbados suffered a technical problem shortly after takeoff from Douglas-Charles Airport and had to return to Dominica. The plane made several loops over the island before landing safely.<\/p>\n

This comes after a similar incident occurred at V.C Bird International Airport in Antigua about four weeks ago when an Inter-Caribbean plane experienced engine failure during take-off.<\/p>\n

While no harm was done, PM Browne expressed his concern about the frequency of these incidents and urged the airline to improve its maintenance practices to ensure passenger safety. He stated that the incidents are becoming too frequent and undermining the public’s confidence in the airline.<\/p>\n

InterCaribbean Airlines confirmed that the pilot of Flight 713 detected an anomaly in one of the engines soon after takeoff from Douglas-Charles Airport.<\/p>\n

As a precautionary measure, the captain shut down the affected engine and returned to Marigot, where the plane landed without any further incident. Emergency procedures were implemented, and emergency services were on standby as the aircraft landed safely.<\/p>\n

To ensure the comfort and convenience of the affected passengers, InterCaribbean Airlines is sending another aircraft to Marigot.<\/p>\n

The new plane will accommodate all the passengers affected by the incident,\u00a0 with the intention of providing them with a safe and seamless journey to their destination.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Prime Minister of Antigua and Barbuda, Gaston Browne, has expressed his concern about the safety of InterCaribbean Airlines’ flights following a series of technical issues that have caused passengers anxiety.
