Caribbean Airlines out performs industry
Caribbean Airlines announced today that in September it outperformed Industry Standards in on-time performance and luggage claims. The airline averaged a 91% on-time performance across its international network.

Caribbean Airlines maintained a perfect score of 100% of its flights leaving on-time for 10 days of the month. Since the beginning of the year, Caribbean Airlines maintained an 84% on-time performance. The United States Bureau of Transportation Statistics indicates that airlines operating in the US had an average on-time performance of 72% in the first three quarters of the year. “Our on-time performance is a clear indication of the operational success of Caribbean Airlines” says Executive Vice-President, Operations, Captain Ian Brunton. “Leaving on-time allows us to make best use of connections with other carriers, to increase customer satisfaction and to maximise revenue”.

‘On time’ is defined, in accordance with normal industry standards, as departure within 15 minutes of scheduled departure time.

Caribbean Airlines is also an industry leader in luggage performance ensuring passengers can be certain they will receive all their belongings on arrival at their destination. Since January the airline has received less than 1 claim per thousand passengers carried. Official data provided by governments show that North American performance averaged 8 claims and European 16 claims per thousand passengers.

The September performance is followed by a strong operational performance in the first days of October where Caribbean Airlines is achieving above 95% on-time performance. The airline is consistently working on improving its performance and appreciates the efforts made by its customers to arrive at check-in and at departure gates on-time. Passengers using web check-in are also processed more rapidly ensuring a quicker access to their gates and ultimately helping the airline’s on-time performance.

Caribbean Airlines to operate & Administer Airbridge
Caribbean Airlines announced today that it has acquired all the outstanding shares in Tobago Express and will be commencing operational management of the airbridge under its code from 1st October 2007.

Under new management the airbridge will maintain the present schedule with the current fleet and the ongoing support of Caribbean Airlines’ Boeing 737-800 aircraft at times of high demand. The airbridge will continue to be regulated by the Government of Trinidad & Tobago.

Tobago Express employees will receive statutory severance packages and offered new and enhanced 3 month transition contracts with Caribbean Airlines. During this time Caribbean Airlines will work with its employees and customers to design the optimum airbridge service. Following this, staff will be given opportunities to join Caribbean Airlines’ permanent ranks.

“Caribbean Airlines plans to offer seamless connections between the islands for local and international travelers, making the destination part of its network” says Caribbean Airlines CEO Peter Davies. “Our schedule will also link other carriers landing in Port-of-Spain to Crown Point bringing more visitors to Tobago”.

Caribbean Airlines is committed to bringing the same on-time performance and customer service levels it delivers to its current customers. It has already developed check-in capabilities, online booking and payment solutions for both customers and travel agents and plans to enhance the overall airport experience.

“We will aim to have a seamless transition for our customers and business partners,” adds CEO designate, Philip Saunders. “We are convinced that by concentrating on improving distribution processes and customer service we can build the foundation for the future sustainability of the airbridge”

The route will benefit from being part of the global distribution system used by Caribbean Airlines, giving International travel agents access to the route seat availability and opportunities to sell the destination to their clients on a global basis.

Caribbean Airlines will service all flights between Trinidad and Tobago in the most efficient and professional manner in which it currently operates its entire network.

Caribbean Airlines Appoints New CEO
Caribbean Airlines announced today that a new CEO, Mr. Philip Saunders has been appointed and will be starting his new role on October 1st, 2007. He will replace Mr. Peter Davies who will continue to be involved with Caribbean Airlines, acting as Strategic Advisor to the Board.

Since the launch of the Task Force in the summer of 2005, under the Chairmanship of Mr. Arthur Lok Jack, the airline industry of Trinidad & Tobago has undergone substantial change. The Task Force was established to meet specific challenges in building a sustainable industry, and this resulted in the closure of BWIA and the launch of Caribbean Airlines. After 7 months of operation, under the stewardship of Mr. Davies, Caribbean Airlines has established a reputable position in the market following a successful summer period with record numbers of passengers.

“The airline has established a strong footprint in the market place and has performed well against additional competition” says Mr. Arthur Lok Jack, Caribbean Airlines’ Chairman. Given this strong position, Caribbean Airlines is now able to begin implementing the next phase of its development. This will require careful planning as the Company intends to grow and operate to more destinations with additional aircraft. It is also developing valuable relationships with other carriers to ensure worldwide coverage benefiting the people of the Caribbean.

Mr. Philip Saunders is well equipped to lead Caribbean Airlines’ growth in this next phase. He served as Vice President Commercial at Star Alliance, the world’s largest airline alliance, and in senior management positions at British Airways, as well as providing the commercial direction to achieve the turnarounds at SN Brussels Airlines in Belgium and Deutsche BA in Germany.

Caribbean Airlines is aiming to benefit from the growth in business and leisure travel and will fulfill the wishes of the people in providing the most comprehensive and cost effective airline operation in the region.

Advisory for In-Transit Passengers Arriving into Trinidad From Guyana
Caribbean Airlines would like to inform all passengers traveling from Guyana, transiting in Port-of-Spain that the Airport Authority of Trinidad & Tobago (AATT) has advised of additional security measures applicable to in-transit passengers entering Piarco International Airport.

The following security measure imposed by AATT will take immediate effect for all passengers whose journey does not end at Piarco International Airport and require transferring between flights:

• All duty-free liquor or any liquids in excess of three fluid ounces obtained before clearing security check points at Piarco International Airport must be processed as hold (check-in) baggage and carried in the hold of passenger aircraft departing Trinidad.

All passengers traveling on International airlines are subject to these regulations without exception. Caribbean Airlines regrets the inconvenience these regulations impose on our passengers but accepts that they are an essential safety requirement set by the AATT.

To comply with the regulations and avoid having to destroy duty free items, Caribbean Airlines has dedicated a Security Agent for each Guyana-originated flight to collect transit duty-free purchases and transport them back to the aircraft cargo compartment.

Passengers are asked by the AATT to comply with the mentioned restriction and are advised to contact their local Caribbean Airlines reservations department and/or Travel Agent for additional information on restrictions and security measures for International travel.

Caribbean Airlines Selects Sabre Airline Solutions’ Ramco MRO System to Achieve Efficient Maintenance, Engineering Operations
Caribbean Airlines has signed an agreement with Sabre Airline Solutions, to provide a new system for its maintenance, repair and overhaul applications and to have that system delivered via Sabre eMergo Web access.

Caribbean Airlines chose the Ramco MRO System, because of “its time to market, product superiority, hosting and the fact that Sabre Airline Solutions will be a single vendor for all our operations and MRO solutions,” said Captain Ian Brunton, executive vice president of operations for Caribbean Airlines.

The Ramco system will help Caribbean Airlines reduce operation and overhead costs while optimizing inventory, increasing operational performance and aircraft availability, and improving overall business process efficiency. It gives the airline a maintenance, repair and overhaul application that is all-encompassing and easy to use. By having the system delivered over the Internet and remotely accessed through the eMergo Web access environment, Caribbean will be able to obtain these benefits more rapidly than with a local installation.

“Our alliance with Ramco is growing stronger all the time,” said Sabre Airline Solutions product vice president Mike Douglass. “We are now engaged with them on every kind of delivery model possible: local access, local install and, now with Caribbean, ASP. It proves that we are in the right space at the right time with the right partner.

“Caribbean Airlines is the first Maxi-Merlin system customer to migrate to the Ramco system,” Douglass added. “We have around 40 current Maxi-Merlin system users today, and they can now use Caribbean’s experience with the new system to evaluate their future needs.”

Douglass also said Sabre Airline Solutions “will be providing an integrated operations solution with the Sabre Flite Control Suite for Caribbean and that supports our “market, sell, serve, operate” strategy.”

“The officials at Caribbean, an icon in the southern Caribbean, possess excellent airline knowledge — they really know their business,” said Jim Fitzgerald, global executive vice president of Ramco MRO. “In order for us to earn their trust, we had to be able to incorporate their intelligence into our solution.”

Caribbean Airlines was launched on January 01, 2007, to serve the Caribbean from its base in Trinidad and Tobago, the hub of the Americas, linking the twin-island republic and many other Caribbean islands with North America, South America, and the United Kingdom.
