Caribbean Star will no longer hop the islands of the region as of the middle of next month.
The date of 15 Nov., has been set as the day that the last flight of the carrier, which is on the verge of entering into a merger agreement with LIAT, will take off.
“As a result, all staff will be released on Nov. 15, 2007, except a handful of people who will complete the remaining closure tasks,”according to Caribbean Airlines Manager of Corporate Communications Laura Cotton, Caribbean Star’s official spokesperson.
“Caribbean Star will begin to transfer to LIAT the remaining five aircraft in our fleet beginning the last week of this month. Our goal is to accomplish the final shut down of Caribbean Star Airlines by the end of November,” Cotton further explained.
She has assured travellers that the overall customer experience will not be affected as aircraft from Caribbean Star will simply be transferred to LIAT in a seamless movement that will have “little or no affect on the flight schedule.”
In this connection, she explained that the only difference after 15 Nov., will be an absence of crew members, engineers or agents wearing Caribbean Star uniforms.
“We have been very proud of our staff for maintaining the daily operation with dignity and professionalism throughout a very challenging period and are confident they will continue to provide excellent service to the travelling public until it’s time to say goodbye,” Cotton noted.
