Evans said: “This decision to terminate followed a full internal investigation of the incident during which the pilots were represented.

“The Leeward Islands Airline Pilots Association (LIALPA) has repeatedly called for LIAT’s Management to take action against indiscipline and we are doing just that.

The company is committed to improving its service delivery to the public and will continue to take appropriate action as required from time to time.”
