Caribbean Airlines

Caribbean Airlines is the state-owned national flag carrier of Trinidad and Tobago, functioning as a primary commercial air service provider for the Caribbean basin. It operates as a scheduled passenger and cargo airline, occupying a mid-stream position in the aerospace value chain by connecting regional hubs to major international gateways. The carrier maintains a fleet composed of narrow-body jet aircraft and turboprop regional airliners to manage both long-haul routes and short-distance inter-island hops. The airline operates a fleet predominantly featuring the Boeing 737 MAX 8 for international services and the ATR 72-600 for domestic and regional operations. It serves a network spanning the Caribbean, North America, and South America, maintaining a strategic partnership with the government of Jamaica through its previous acquisition of Air Jamaica. Key operational hubs are maintained at Piarco International Airport and Norman Manley International Airport. Prospective partners or suppliers should verify the carrier’s current fleet renewal status and its specific maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) certifications for the Boeing 737 MAX series. Verification of regional regulatory compliance with the Trinidad and Tobago Civil Aviation Authority (TTCAA) is essential. Buyers should also confirm the specific cargo handling capacities and cold-chain logistics availability at their main transit hubs.
