(LIAT) ST. JOHN’S, Antigua, August 01, 2011 – LIAT wishes to advise that the tropical weather system now affecting the Eastern Caribbean has resulted in the cancellation and diversion of certain flights.
The Dominica sector of LI 557, LI 553 and LI 364 was cancelled after the Dominica Air and Seaports Authority closed the Melville Hall Airport this afternoon due to the unstable weather conditions.
Meantime, due to the weather conditions, LI 332 and LI 512 were both diverted from the Grantley Adams International Airport in Barbados to the George F. Charles Airport in St. Lucia.
LIAT continues to monitor the tropical weather system which is projected to affect the Eastern Caribbean over the next few days and will provide further information as the situation develops.
