Travel on regional airline LIAT is back to normal after management of the carrier struck a deal with pilots to end a three-day strike.
Pilots represented by the Leeward Islands Airline Pilots Association refused to fly the company’s ATR 72 planes unless they were appropriately compensated in keeping with a pay increase agreed by the company in January for flying the larger planes. The president of the pilots association, said agreement was reached late Friday evening on the payment terms for the additional money to fly the ATR 72s, as well as retroactive pay. He said a Consent Order was signed in that regard.
