Effective December 2018, the Antigua V.C. Bird International Airport has implemented a Flow Control Restriction. The restriction will be in place until March of 2019.
As such, LIAT issued a statement via social media expressing that several flights may experience delays.
The statement read as follows:
LIAT wishes to advise that several flights within its network may experience delays due to these Flow Control restrictions being implemented.
One of the major aspects of Flow Control is that Air Traffic Control in Antigua will allow only one flight departure every 10 minutes and one flight arrival every 15 minutes for inbound flights. As a result, airlines have been advised that delays will occur. This may also affect LIAT flights in other destinations, as the aircraft to operate these flights may originate in Antigua or experience a knock-on effect.
While LIAT has no control over these restrictions, we will endeavour to minimize our wait times on the tarmac and expedite our departures. We do sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused by this issue.
