Caribbean Airline lowers fares for stranded EZjet passengers

Nov 15, 2012 News

Late yesterday afternoon Caribbean Airline significantly dropped its airfare to accommodate passengers who were stranded by the closure of Ezjet. It has also added a new flight schedule to its Georgetown operations to aid these stranded passengers.
Caribbean Airline yesterday said that it was giving these passengers a most reasonable direct flight to New York for US$225, all taxes, included. Kaieteur News was told that the flight will leave Timehri around 17:10hrs.
Kaieteur News was further told that Caribbean Airline has also switched its aircraft type to a Boeing 767, which is a 220-seater, and would be available Fridays and Saturdays. This, according to sources, will help passengers who aren’t able to travel today. Prices for the weekend flight are as low as US$305.
Last week top executives of CAL met with President Donald Ramotar and Government officials at State House during an emergency session to find solutions.
According to a government statement, CAL agreed to provide short-term accommodation for the stranded EZjet New York-bound passengers at the same fare structure.
Caribbean Airline Chairman, Rabindra Moonan, in an invited comment said that the accrued benefits from the latter plan will be passed on to the travelling public.
