Trinidad-based Caribbean Airlines reported that all its international and domestic flights had been affected as a result of industrial action taken by its flight crew.
In a statement, the airline said that “many of its pilots who were rostered to operate flights were calling in sick”.
CEO Michael DiLollo said: “We are naturally concerned firstly for the health and welfare of our pilot body since this is an unprecedented occurrence. This unfortunate situation has disrupted our scheduled services at the beginning of our summer season, during which we count most on our operational crews to demonstrate reliability and service for our loyal customers.”
The Trinidad and Tobago Pilot’s Association (TTALPA) has not commented on the industrial action.
