LIAT cancels flights for second day as Irma gets closer

The development of Hurricane Irma has led to airline LIAT cancelling all of its flights for Tuesday.

This follows a day of disruptions yesterday as the Caribbean region gears itself up to the effects of the extreme weather.

Hurricane warnings are currently in effect for Antigua, Barbuda, Anguilla, Montserrat, St Kitts and Nevis, among other.

A tropical storm warning is in place for Dominica.

“LIAT wishes to advise passengers that due to the impending passage of Hurricane Irma that several destinations will be affected,” the regional carrier said in a statement.

“The Miami-based National Hurricane Center has advised that Irma is expected to affect the north eastern Leeward Islands as a major hurricane.”
