Port-of-Spain, Trinidad, December 08 2011: Today, December 8, 2011, at 2:45 p.m. Caribbean Airlines was served notice of industrial action to be taken within 72 hours by the Jamaican Airline Pilots. The notice was delivered to Caribbean Airlines at the Ministry of Labour in Jamaica. It is regrettable that this action has been chosen, as the pilots themselves wrote there is nothing Caribbean Airlines is in breach of with them. We reassure all customers that we will make every
effort to minimise disruptions should this threat materialize. Contingency plans are already being put in place to ensure all of our passengers have an enjoyable Christmas season.

Since July 01, 2011 the airline has successfully integrated the Air Jamaica and Caribbean Airlines brands into “One Airline”. We have invested significantly into the pilot body in particular with Boeing 737 training and development, provided the best in class aircraft, good employment benefits and provided the employment environment for our Jamaican pilots. The Air Jamaica brand which consists of 650 employees will continue to operate.

Caribbean Airlines Chairman, George M. Nicholas III said "As always, our first priority is to serve our customers regardless of any industrial action taken by the Air Jamaica pilot body and we apologise for any inconvenience caused. We will endeavour to provide award winning service to our customers and our global aviation partners are ready to ensure that passengers have a wonderful Christmas season. The Board, Management and Staff are committed to serving our customers with award winning on time service. And look forward to an opportunity to demonstrate our care to Air Jamaica passengers and the people of Jamaica".
