LIAT has reduced its daily flights into St. Lucia by 4, providing 11 compared to its regular 15, this as Saint Lucia recorded increased regional arrivals in the first quarter of the year; the first time in years.
But The St. Lucia Tourist Board says that airlift suffered a 20% drop in 2012.
Director – Louis Lewis says this did not reflect demand for the country which remained the same. He says efforts to restore the lost seats have been ongoing.
Lewis says further to the issue of decreased flights to the island, increased airfare also formed part of their troubles. He noted there has been a 40% increase in airfare this year compared to 2011.
