It was business as usual at the Grantley Adams International Airport yesterday after the all-clear was given.
“So the impact would be delays, British Airways and Virgin Atlantic were diverted, in one case to Antigua, the other case to Grenada. They will land, it just means that people will just leave a little later than they anticipated.”
“American Airlines had to cancel at least one flight so they are doubling up to make sure they can still bring in their people.. LIAT would have the hardest, because they have the largest number of movement.”
“The St. Vincent airport only just reopened. LIAT is trying to readjust its schedule. Other than some inconvenience for our visitors, there has been no impact. We did not lose any business as a result,” he revealed.
A travel advisory issued by LIAT yesterday morning, noted that following the reopening of several airports yesterday: “LIAT is resuming its normal operating schedule but advises that some of its services will be delayed. Although the weather conditions have improved, some areas in the network are still being impacted by wind gusts which are affecting our operation.” (JH)
