Caribbean Airlines introduces a new Livery

Caribbean Airlines has introduced a new livery as seen on ATR 72 9Y-TTI:

Caribbean Airlines Is Changing, Evolving

Over recent years we’ve introduced many new products and service enhancements. We are now focusing on another area of potential evolution – our brand image and brand identity.

When Caribbean Airlines started operations in January 2007, the aim was to embody the warmth of the Caribbean, and to reflect that warmth in our livery and our professional service.

This has served us well for 13 years.

Our Corporate brand has now evolved!

In March 2020, we revealed a new brand identity as well as new livery for our aircraft.

This is a brand refresh, which means we have taken what we already have a few steps further; an exciting makeover, not a new start.

Our refreshed branding has a more modern feel. It is bolder, more distinct, and more vibrant, while retaining the emotional connection of the original branding to that essential warmth of the Caribbean region.

Welcome To The New Era

The new logo retains the iconic hummingbird while infusing fluid lines and brighter hues to embody the spirit of flight, the vibrancy of our culture and connectivity within the region.

The new look represents the rich history and culture of the region and reflects the optimism and energy that have permeated all aspects of our operations.

Our New ATR Aircraft Livery

Our new livery celebrates the energy and vibrancy of the region.

Each time you see the word Caribbean we want you to think about your airline and the pride and joy we have in serving you.

Bringing Our Brands Under The Canopy Of The Caribbean

As part of the new brand identity, we have also standardised the name of all our products and services which will now be prefaced by the word “Caribbean”.

Caribbean Airlines to acquire 12 Boeing 737-8 MAX 8s

Boeing and Caribbean Airlines have announced the airline has chosen to enhance and renew its single-aisle fleet with the 737 MAX 8. The carrier, which has long operated the Next-Generation 737, will take delivery of 12 MAX airplanes in the coming years.

The airline commemorated the selection of the MAX during a ceremony featuring national dignitaries, including the Prime Minister of Trinidad and Tobago, the Honorable Keith Rowley, and Caribbean Airlines Chief Executive Officer, Garvin Medera.

The new MAX aircraft will replace the existing Boeing 737-800 fleet. (below).

The 737 MAX 8 – part of a fuel-efficient family of airplanes – will seat up to 160 passengers in Caribbean Airlines’ three-class configuration featuring the “Caribbean Plus” Cabin, and provide more than 500 nautical miles more range than the existing aircraft.

The airplane incorporates the latest technology CFM International LEAP-1B engines, Advanced Technology winglets, and other airframe enhancements to improve performance and reduce operating costs. Caribbean Airlines projects the MAX 8 will provide up to 16 percent fuel savings compared to its current fleet.

In addition to flying Boeing airplanes, Caribbean Airlines also uses Boeing’s services to optimize its operations. The carrier participates in the Fuel Dashboard Program, for example, which allows operators to look across their fleet and identify fuel savings. Caribbean also uses Boeing’s consumable and expendable material services to ensure it has the parts it needs when it needs it.

The 737 MAX family is the fastest-selling airplane in Boeing history, accumulating about 4,800 orders from more than 100 customers worldwide. Boeing has delivered more than 200 737 MAX airplanes since May 2017.
