As a result of very heavy rains and flooding in Antigua and in the islands in the north of the region due to the presence of Hurricane Omar, LIAT, has issued a further update for all passengers on their flights.
As of this morning (October 16th) the VC Bird International Airport in Antigua is presently closed. This closure has now affected all of the company’s operations out of Antigua which include both north and south bound flights from that island.
CEO Mark Darby has confirmed that there are a limited number of flights operating out of Barbados servicing the southern islands of the region.
It is expected that the airport in Antigua will be open for limited operations by early afternoon but a further update will have to be issued at that time when it is anticipated that the weather will clear.
