Minister of Transport, Devant Maharaj, has clarified the statement appearing in the Sunday Express regarding the cost cutting measures of Caribbean Airlines.
Minister Maharaj reports that the statement on the removal of meals from economy fares was a miscommunication. He confirmed that while a number of measures were being examined by the Executive team of the airline to streamline and optimise the efficiency of its operations, there is no intention to remove the meal service that has defined the warmth of the Caribbean's hospitality on board.
Minister Maharaj took the opportunity to recognise the strides being made by the regional carrier in expanding its routes internationally and developing the airline into one with a global vision. He said that the recent award as voted by International travel agents, as the Best Airline Regional Award beating out American and Delta among others came about because of attention to details such as meeting the hospitality needs of passengers on every flight.
Minister Maharaj said that while he regrets the miscommunication on the matter he hoped the bigger picture of the airline's continued success would be the real story.
He also took the opportunity to confirm the airline's intention to fulfill its pledged contribution to the Children's Life Fund. Minister Maharaj said that the question of whether the airline would or not do so is a non issue. The Minister said "Once we have worked through all the processes, the pledge to this most worthy cause will be proudly realised."
