Caribbean Airlines, Guyana continue longstanding, productive relationship – CEO

…737-8 aircraft makes debut in Guyana

Caribbean Airlines’ 737-8 aircraft, 9Y-GUY was welcomed by a water salute when it made its debut landing in Guyana at the Cheddi Jagan International Airport (CJIA) at 15:09h on Monday.

The new 160-seat aircraft operated on route BW 526 from Trinidad with onward service to New York for the first time on Monday.
In commemorating the occasion, Caribbean Airlines’ CEO, Garvin Madera, said, “Caribbean Airlines and Guyana continue to enjoy a longstanding and productive relationship, and since our start in 2007 we’ve provided consistent service to Guyana including daily non-stop flights between New York and Guyana with seamless connections throughout our network. Caribbean Airlines has the most extensive route system of all operators in the region and Guyana continues to be one of our most significant destinations.”
He added that the introduction of the 737-8 into its jet fleet, resets and elevates the company’s customer experience; and is the culmination of extensive research and data-driven innovation to refresh the Caribbean Airlines brand.
Recently, the airline rolled out its “Reset Expectations” campaign which is the overarching theme that strengthens everything that is done at Caribbean Airlines to reinforce the authenticity of the Caribbean brand.
Customers also have a suite of customisable pre-travel and on-board services available including: pre-order meals that are authentic Caribbean food like doubles (bara and chickpeas), bake and fish, and other unique delicacies which can be reserved up to 36 hours before flight departure; Caribbean Layaway, which is an interest-free layaway plan that allows customers travelling within a two to 12-month period, the opportunity to pay for flights on a phased basis; “Your Space” allows economy passengers to have the option to pay for the seat next to them, or the entire row, from as low as US$20 depending on the route; Caribbean Upgrade, is the service that allows eligible passengers to upgrade to Business Class and enjoy a more premium travel experience.
The 737-8 aircraft will progressively enter into service throughout the Caribbean Airlines network, and the airline’s latest schedule is open for sale.
