Is InterCaribbean the worst airline serving the territory?

TRELLIS BAY, Beef Island, VI- Reports are that customers continue to be dissatisfied with the services of InterCaribbean Airways.

For days, many passengers have been speaking to our News Centre about delayed flights, poor customer service, no provision of hotels when flights are cancelled, no meals and sometimes hostile agents.

For the last four days, for example, many of the airlines scheduled flights in and out of the territory have been cancelled, delayed for 7 hours and passengers simply told “we are waiting on the plane to come from Antigua” or Puerto Rico, “we are waiting on a part”, or “the weather is bad”.

Who to report to?

It is unclear whether passengers should report their grievances to the Ministry of Financial Services, Labour and Trade, which is responsible for consumer affairs, or whether it is a matter for the BVI Airports Authority or even the Department of Civil Aviation.

Many dissatisfied and frustrated customers continue to lambast the airline.

Delays & more delays

Today, Sunday, August 4, 2024, for example, there are scores of passengers at Terrance B. Lettsome International Airport awaiting InterCaribbean flights.

A flight scheduled to depart at 8:30 AM is yet to depart and another flight to the Dominican Republic was scheduled to depart at 11:00 AM but is yet to depart.

Customers for a flight destined for San Juan have also been delayed for close to five hours and angry customers have stormed the airline’s counter demanding answers.

However, they have been told the supervisor is not present to answer any questions.

The delays continue unabated and seemingly without any remedy for passengers.

This holiday it may be wise to steer clear of InterCaribbean, if possible.

      If service is that bad, how often do they check InterCaribs plane's maintenance? I wouldn't fly on this airline fearing for my life.

    Word to the wise don't book any flights with inter Caribbean except the last flight that's the only one with any chance of being run, they remind me of a ragga car, it runs but you won't like the ride

    I am sure the supervisor is hiding, inter Caribbean have the worst customer service ever, I can’t stand them, the hostile staff they have, always have an attitude and can never help you.
    I went to Antigua with Winair sometime back and the service was amazing out of Tortola, the staff was friendly, well disciplined and even got the flight out at least 23 minutes earlier than schedule, I hope winair can get some more big planes and put inter Caribbean out

    It is Amazing how Companies can come into the Territory and provide low quality services and nothing get done: The Department which Grants the Company permission to operate in the Territory Should have a Serious conversation With Them; But might not happen because the Politicians could be granted Free Travel

    Anyone who is foolish enough to give this company their money deserves what they get. Ayo know this is the worst airline in the Caribbean for years now.

      Common Sense and LOL are the only ones with sense. Time and time again InterCaribbean screws up and people don't learn. In most cases, options exist: WinAir to Antigua, Silver and Cape Air to San Juan, WinAir to St. Maarten. A quick check on Google Flights displays the options.

      The government can't make you a smart consumer. If a mechanic repeatedly messed up your car or a hairdresser gave you several bad haircuts, would you keep going back? Would you say the government needs to force the barber to give better haircuts?

    InterCancellation are so painfully bad, they make LIAT look like the world’s best airline. And we all remember LIAT.

    Worst airline ever. They need to stay Turks & Caicos or the Ministry of Communication and Works needs to do something. They cannot be getting away with this.
