Caribbean Airlines (Port of Spain) announced the signature of an agreement for the purchase of nine ATR 72-600 aircraft. With this US$ 200 million order, Caribbean Airlines will become a new ATR operator. The aircraft are configured with 68 seats and equipped with the new ATR -600 series avionics suite and with the new Armonia Cabin. Deliveries will start in late 2011.
With its fleet of brand new ATR 72-600s, this flag carrier will replace its current fleet of five DHC-8 300 aircraft, while adding new frequencies linking Trinidad and Tobago and surrounding destinations. In addition, several of the new ATRs will be operated in the route network of Air Jamaica, recently acquired by Caribbean Airlines.

Caribbean Airlines (Port of Spain) is currently integrating the assets of Air Jamaica (acquired on May 1, 2010). The flag carrier is now asking its employees to help design a new logo and tagline to replace the beautiful Hummingbird design which also implies a new livery. The airline intends to repaint the Air Jamaica fleet with this new design. We think this is a big mistake as the current motif is a very distinctive brand.
