LIAT senior director suspended

Antigua-based regional airline (LIAT) is maintaining its silence over reports that the cash-strapped company had suspended its Director of Flight Operations, Captain George Arthurton.



LIAT’s communications manager Desmond Brown told the Caribbean Media Corporation that the matter is an internal one and not up for public discussion.



Arthurton is reported to have gone on suspension yesterday, following an incident in November 2013, where one of the airline’s pilots, refused to operate an aircraft and was subsequently suspended.



Last month, the Leeward Islands Airline Pilots Association said it was awaiting the recommendations of an investigation into the breach of the Eastern Caribbean Civil Aviation regulations last November by LIAT.
