The more than 40 persons stranded all claimed that they were waiting on a word from LIAT indicating when they would be able to fly, some of whom were returning to their families and jobs.
There is no doubt that the reported strike action by LIAT pilots has inconvenienced the traveling public severely. According to Joseph Persaud – Administrative Bishop of the New Testament Church of God in Guyana – a total of 75 persons, of which 30 were scheduled to travel to Barbados today for a convention stand to be affected if the situation is not resolved soon.
“We are waiting on a word from LIAT, I need to be there, my team needs to be there,” he told iNews.
The demands of the pilots are unclear at this time. LIAT currently serves 63 destinations. All flights remain grounded pending an outcome of the deliberations.
