Regional air carrier LIAT, on Thursday, announced yet another extension to the suspension of its passenger service.
The airline said that the service will remain on hold until July 15, due to the continued impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Chief Executive Officer, Julie Reifer-Jones said that while LIAT destinations have begun to announce reopening dates, there are extended quarantine restrictions and protocols that are impacting the demand for travel.
Reifer-Jones said the airline’s management and board of directors will continue to monitor the situation and will review the decision in July as more information becomes available.
Passengers booked during the extended period of suspension will automatically have their bookings cancelled and will receive full airline credit for future travel. Passengers will be able to rebook as soon as the airline announces the resumption of passenger services.
“The airline acknowledged that while the extension was extremely difficult, it was necessary as the airline works towards a feasible restart. The CEO reassured that LIAT is still committed to keeping the region connected,” LIAT said in a press statement. (iWNSVG)
