Caribbean Airlines is the state-owned airline of Trinidad and Tobago and was founded on 27th September, 2006. 

Headquartered in Piarco, the airline operates flights to the Caribbean, Europe, North America and South America from its base at Piarco International Airport. In addition to Caribbean Airlines hub in Trinidad and Tobago the Caribbean carrier also has another hub in Jamaica at Norman Manley International Airport.

Caribbean Airlines first ever flight took place on 1st January 2007 with 128 weekly departures to 10 destinations and 5 Boeing 737-800 aircraft.

Caribbean Airlines operates more than 600 weekly flights to 19 destinations in the Caribbean, North and South American and the United Kingdom and has an operational base in Jamaica.

Caribbean Airlines 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.

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, their on-time performance was 93.9%, surpassing the average aviation industry’s standard of 85%. Caribbean Airlines 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).

Caribbean Airlines has codeshares with British Airways, with the first flight taking off between Port of Spain, Trinidad and London Gatwick International Airport. The codeshare allows Caribbean Airlines customers easy connectivity to London, a city well loved by travellers.

To meet increased travel demand for major regional events, like Cricket World Cup and the Tobago Jazz Festival in March and April we added a Boeing 737-800 aircraft and a hundred extra flights to our schedule. The enhanced schedule also included special charters to St. Kitts, Bermuda and Grenada, and is a clear example of Caribbean Airlines’ commitment to the Caribbean region and our customers’ needs.

Caribbean Airlines' fleet consists of Boeing 737s and ATR 72-600s. Caribbean airlines currently offers a two class service on their Boeing aircraft with 16 seats in business class and 138 in economy. In August 2007, Caribbean Airlines 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 a daily service 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.
