Caribbean Airlines Map Blunder Reflects Incompetence and Poor Oversight

Dear Editor,
Caribbean Airlines’ recent admission that it published an advertisement featuring an incomplete map of Guyana in its in-flight magazine is more than just an embarrassing Marketing blunder — it is a stark reflection of carelessness, weak oversight, and managerial incompetence within the airline.
That such a sensitive and easily verifiable error slipped through layers of review speaks volumes. CAL claims to have launched an investigation and replaced the printed issues, but the damage to regional relations and the airline’s credibility is already done.
This is not an isolated mistake but one in a series of troubling developments pointing to a culture of negligence and basic professional incompetence. In any other serious organisation, such a lapse would result in disciplinary action or resignation.
In the spirit of accountability, we must ask: What is the outcome of the investigation? Who approved the advertisement? Will anyone be held responsible? This incident should not be treated as a minor editorial slip but as further proof that accountability and reform are urgently needed within CAL’s leadership and operations.

Yours sincerely,
