Caribbean Airlines Welcomes Newest Fleet Additions



Port-of-Spain, Trinidad – Caribbean Airlines welcomed a new addition to its fleet on Thursday 28 July 2011. Caribbean Airlines’ ninth Boeing 737-800 landed at Piarco International Airport and parked near to the airport’s domestic terminal at Gate 14.

On hand to witness the arrival was the Minister of Transport Mr. Devant Maharaj and Caribbean Airlines Chairman George M. Nicholas III. The aircraft registered as 9Y-SXM came directly from the Boeing factory in Seattle, Washington.

The aircraft’s landing was commemorated with a water salute which was followed by a ribbon cutting ceremony officiated by the Transport Minister. Passengers in the Domestic Terminal of the airport were also part of the festivities as they were treated to a customer appreciation event also held at the same time to commemorate the induction of the new aircraft.

On the same day, the airline’s second brand Air Jamaica, also celebrated the arrival of its fifth Boeing 737 with 9Y-JMF arriving at Piarco International Airport some time later. 9Y-JMF is expected to be in service by the first week of August. This means that just one more aircraft will be needed to complete the transition from Airbus to Boeing for the Air Jamaica brand.


Caribbean Airlines new Boeing 737-800 is welcomed by a traditional water salute at Piarco International Airport in Trinidad.

Operating as 2 brands under one airline, the airline also has 5 Boeing aircraft operating under the Air Jamaica brand bringing the total number of Boeing aircraft to 14 system wide.

anyone who wants to go to guyana... ignis, tr1ad et al,
this is CAL new schedule for the time being:

[acesinghit]

I am not disturbed one bit by the event of this morning. Something is telling me it was pilot error and nothing to do with the aircraft. The 737-800 NG is actually one of the best commercial jetaircrafts in the sky coupled with the CFM56 turbofan engines, it is a reliable combination.

I am not prepared to use Redjet's leased MD-82 aircrafts that are 32 years old and can no longer be a part of AA's fleet. There is a reason why besides economics that AA doesn't use them anymore (hint: safety). So if Redjet inherits such, that is their problem.

CAL FTW!!!! Awaits a concluded investigation by NTSB and Boeing.

[Chiney]

my friend was onboard that flight

homie counldnt even talk, his GF saying he just sitting at home spaced out completely.

that is a wake up call yes

[Michael Knight...]

Damn, there goes our safety record......glad no one died though.

excitement??

what is exciting about a plane crash?

[Captainzaak]

Nah boi, they pilots should probably be thanks for no loss of life!

I agree. And that is a good thing. But this was not a bird strike. And the plane did not land in the Hudson River.

But remember - one plane written off and I am really hoping that it is NOT the brand new one they got on Thursday.

Nah, its a leased aircraft.

Its a dry lease not so?

Then CAL would have to cover the cost of it?

[Team Loco]

Was a muslim the pilot?

you may be right if it was sadiq baksh's son......dunno if he's muslim

[De Dragon]

excitement??

You assume excitement is used in a negative connotation here.

[bluefete]

Was a muslim the pilot?

you may be right if it was sadiq baksh's son......dunno if he's muslim

Pios: What de ar..e the pilot's religion has to do with the crash??? It sounds like all you are interested in is who was a Muslim on this flight. I know you like to chook t'ing but this is really out of place in any accident and in p[oor taste as well.

How would it look if I came here and asked : "Was a Christian / Hindu the pilot?" Tuners would take a turn in my skin. And they would be absolutely right to do so.

[*$kїđž!™]

Was a muslim the pilot?

r u trying to imply that it was a muslim pilot name saoud who tried to crash the plane on purpose in the name of allah?

[Team Loco]

it was i..dis madinga right here.......in the name of Kamala though

[Chiney]

excitement??

dats right, i ASSumed..

did i ASSume wrong? if so, i apologize....

[bluefete]

you may be right if it was sadiq baksh's son......dunno if he's muslim

To the people above getting all emo, THIS is why i was asking

Yes, there are local pilots who fly this route, idiots.

So why yuh didn't simply ask if Sadiq Baksh son was flying??????

What Dash 8 Pilots have to do departing out of E.T. Joshua Airport



So you'd think no jet aircraft can operate out of here right? WRONG! AmeriJet does, and to further step it up a notch, they are the only aircraft that takes off towards the mountains. Not even the LIAT pilots risking that move!

yes pioneer dumbass.

[equipped2ripp]

No, don't think it was the new aircraft.

Saw it was 9Y-PXM in the pics, that's a newish aircraft though. If I can remember well, I flew in it from GEO already, it's newish inside, brown leather interior... really nice.

[pablo_tt]

9Y-PBM

You seem not to know much about Amerijet's 727 aircraft. The reason why they still operate that nearly 30 year old jet is because it is designed to land and take off on short runways. With three engines and flaps that probably have the surface area of the Dash 8's wing, it is one of the few jet aircraft that can land in SVD. Therefore, there is a need to build a better airport which we expect by 2012.

at 4:16 d lady say " she foot bussway " lol

hahahahaha somebody do ah remix ah dis nah hoss........it go be epic.....lol lol

if ah had video editing skillz ah woulda give it ah try eh but ah go fail...

Remix that sheit with a chutney beat

[Habit7]

The most glaring pilot error I'm seeing from the photos is that the flaps and slats are retracted.

[equipped2ripp]

9Y-PBM

Haha yeah, I meant PBM

[Captainzaak]

X2

AFIK spoilers are supposed to deploy on touchdown once armed.
But landing with 0 degrees flaps? Makes no sense.

Highly doubt they would have had time to retract them while skidding down the runway

EDIT:

Way bluefete? It reach dailymail

[zcarz]

rule of thumb: whenever going to guyana, do NOT go on the early morning flight, there is always fog and mist, choose another flight time and you will be fine

[MISHI]

Would confirm what passengers were saying regarding the late touchdown; no flaps/ slats would have em coming in too fast...
