The United Workers Party has expressed concern about the deteriorating service from regional airline LIAT and the silence of Saint Lucian government ministers on the issue. LIAT operates as a monopoly but continues to place a financial burden on regional governments and fail to meet service standards. The UWP fears the Saint Lucian government may invest millions in LIAT and believes caution is needed. Party leader Allen Chastanet called for heads of government to review leadership of the Caricom aviation committee and for the chairs of LIAT and the committee to resign to allow objective solutions for a sustainable regional aviation industry.
