About

Founded in September 2006, Caribbean Airlines is the state-owned airline of Trinidad and Tobago. This airline has an extensive route network — flying more than 600 weekly flights to more than 20 destinations in the Caribbean, North America and South America. In addition to the hub at Piarco International Airport in Trinidad and Tobago, the Caribbean carrier also has another hub in Jamaica at Norman Manley International Airport.

The airline operates scheduled services to the following destinations (including incorporated services formerly operated by Air Jamaica) Toronto, New York, Orlando, Fort Lauderdale, Miami, Nassau, Montego Bay, Kingston, St. Maarten, Antigua, St. Lucia, Grenada, Caracas, Barbados, Tobago, Trinidad, Georgetown and Paramaribo.

Its first-ever flight took place on 1st January 2007. Soon after, it rolled out the rest of its flight schedule, with 128 weekly departures to 10 destinations and 5 Boeing 737-800 aircraft. In August 2007, they opened a new 2,000 square-foot sales and ticket office at Nicholas Tower, Independence Square, Port-of-Spain, Trinidad featuring state-of-the-art technology such as internet kiosks for ticket booking and online check-in. Two months later, the airline purchased the remaining shares of the airline, Tobago Express. This acquisition included the airline’s employees, its five aircraft and responsibility for operating the domestic air bridge between Trinidad and Tobago.

In early 2008, Caribbean Airlines began daily services to Caracas, Venezuela. The new daily return flight was the first network expansion since the start of operations in January 2007. The introduction of a daily service to Fort Lauderdale, Florida soon followed and we became the regional-airline with the most direct services between Trinidad and South Florida. This growth was complemented by significant costs savings and increased quality control with the move to insourcing the heavy maintenance of the fleet.

Caribbean Airlines were the pioneers of the simplified one-way fare inclusive of taxes and fees that provided customers with flexible fare combinations and extended stay options. In the first two months of operation, its on-time performance was 93.9%, surpassing the average aviation industry’s standard of 85%. It also exceeded industry standards with an impressive lost baggage rate of just 0.7 for January 2007 (less than one bag lost per thousand passengers).

In the past, to meet increased travel demand for major regional events, like the 2007 Cricket World Cup and the Tobago Jazz Festival in March and April, Caribbean have added extra aircraft and hundreds of extra flights to their schedule. The enhanced schedule also includes special charters to St. Kitts, Bermuda and Grenada, and is a clear example of Caribbean Airlines’ commitment to the Caribbean region and its customers’ needs.

Fleet

Caribbean Airlines fleet consists of Boeing 737-800 and ATR 72-600 aircraft. Overall, the airline has 18 aircraft within its fleet. The airline was supposed to replace its Boeing 737-800 with Boeing 737 MAX 8s in 2019, however, this was delayed due to the 737 MAX 8s being grounded.
