Bridgetown.
Several passengers travelling to Antigua and Guyana by LAIT spent several hours waiting at the Grantley International Airport yesterday afternoon, after their flights were delayed.
Inua Hart of Guyana, who was booked to return to her homeland since Saturday afternoon, had to be put up by the airline for an extra day and was only able to leave last night on LIAT flight 773.
Just before departure, a relieved Hart, who has been residing in Tortola, said it was not the first time she had been frustrated by LIAT delays.
“If it is not in Antigua, it is here. The service is not up to scratch and those in authority must address what is a serious problem,” she said.
Two weeks ago executive officer, captain Ian Brunton, stated on a call-in radio that LIAT would improve its service.
