A besieged Caribbean airline (CAL), whose long-standing yummy service to the regional air transport industry is often overlooked amid the service-related criticism it has had to face in recent years, far from putting his problems behind him. .
The Caribbean Business Report last week revealed that a recent internal company memorandum revealed that the regional air carrier will have to extend the cutoff date for its furloughs and pay cuts to April 15 next year.
The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic has shattered the economic well-being of Caribbean Airlines, forcing the company into stringent cost-cutting measures including staff cuts and pay cuts for retained staff. Those measures took effect from October. Last week, a document referred to by Caribbean Business Report as an “internal staff memo” circulated by the company’s CEO, Garvin Medera, warned of the extension of the time period for the fur and wage cuts, alleging that Caribbean Airlines is trying to keep costs as low as possible as it waits to reopen the Trinidad and Tobago borders.
