Worst ever to fly here
Mr. Minister I don’t travel to the Caribbean, but to hear some of theses stories of people who are stuck for days and cannot be put up in hotels or told of cancellations or delays tells me they are not morally or ethically ready for business. Compensation should be one thing that the aviation rule carries,and should be given to the travelers.tell them the Warsaw Convention give that rights internationally to travelers. Stop pussy footing with the plane business.

Y'all can't manage your own, but wanna tell people how to manage their own? GTFOH with this BS. If you don't like the way you getting treated keep your money in your pocket! WHAT Y'ALL BAWLING FOR?
YEAH RIGHT! Pure talk no action. This has been going on for far too long, Christmas time was a mess, summer months a mess. Seems ICA cannot handle the crowd or they not paying their staff well so they leaving them. ("on-going staffing challenges")
Maybe they took on more than they can handle. Hoping that CAL can do better with the addition of these new routes so consumers have more choices.
Fix the road clean up the streets from the little storm then you can tell off anyone on what they need to fix.
