Frustration is mounting at the V.C. Bird International Airport as passengers scramble for answers following the cancellation of five LIAT Air flights from Antigua.

The cancellations have left a number of travellers stranded at the airport, with many anxious to get out of the country and continue their journeys.

Antigua.news understands that the situation has resulted in growing frustration among affected passengers, some of whom have been left uncertain about when they will be able to travel.

Passengers could be seen waiting inside the terminal as they sought information on alternative arrangements and possible rebooking.

For some travellers, the disruption could also have implications for connecting flights and other travel plans beyond Antigua.

It was not immediately clear what prompted LIAT Air to cancel the five flights or how soon the affected services would be restored.

Passengers are expected to receive further information from the airline regarding their travel arrangements.

The cancellations come at a particularly frustrating time for travellers, with the airport dealing with passengers attempting to leave Antigua following the Carnival season.
