Caribbean Airlines operated a B737-800 passenger aircraft for a cargo-only charter service.
The flight was part of a recently launched charter service, and was used to move essential supplies from Guyana to Cuba.
The new service was introduced to serve islands experiencing reduced cargo capacity due the closure of borders to commercial passenger flights due to COVID-19.
Marklan Moseley, General Manager – Cargo and New Business at Caribbean Airlines, said: “These are very challenging times and we are sensitive to the need for trade and commerce to continue within the region. We continue to support the supply chain within the Caribbean and are offering our charter services which supplements our current weekly scheduled freighter flights.”
Caribbean Airlines Cargo offers its charter services to Barbados, Grenada, Guyana, Jamaica, St. Lucia, St.Vincent, Suriname, and many other destinations within the Caribbean.
CAL’s all-cargo B767 freighter service operates weekly out of its Miami hub to the Caribbean. Using their interline partners CAL can provide connections globally out of the Miami gateway.
