Jul 03, 2018 News

Caribbean Airlines has advised that effective June 30, 2018, following a directive to airlines from the United States Transportation Security Administration (TSA), new carry-on baggage restrictions are in effect for all passengers flying to that country.
“Specifically, any “powder like substance” with the exception of baby formula, medically prescribed powder-like substances and human remains will now be forbidden in carry-on and cabin luggage if the quantity of the substance is over 350 millilitres, 12 ounces or 350 grams.”
Caribbean Airlines disclosed that the same limitation applies to the capacity of the container which cannot be over 350 millilitres.

The US has restricted the placement of “powder like” substances in carry-ons.

“All passengers flying to the USA must give up any “powder-like substance” over this amount and place it in their checked baggage for transportation in the baggage hold of the aircraft.”
Caribbean Airlines operates more than 600 weekly flights to 20 destinations in the Caribbean and North and South America.
The airline’s fleet comprises Boeing 737-800 and ATR72-600 aircraft. Jointly owned by the people of Trinidad & Tobago and Jamaica, headquartered in Trinidad and Tobago, and with an operational base in Jamaica, Caribbean Airlines employs more than 1600 people.
