Carrier Closed In January To Restructure
Caribbean Sun Airlines Inc., a South Florida-based carrier that
operated flights throughout the Caribbean from January 2003 to
January 2007, announced Friday its intention to re-launch by the
end of 2007.
Significantly upgrading its fleet and service capabilities,
Caribbean Sun plans to return to the skies utilizing Boeing 737-400
aircraft. The carrier previously operated a fleet consisting solely
of 37-seat Dash-8 turboprop aircraft. Recruitment efforts toward
hiring new pilots will begin in the coming weeks, the carrier
said.
The carrier closed itself down January 31 for a major
reorganization, according to the Trinidad News. The re-launch
follows this comprehensive six-month re-structuring program to
identify new growth opportunities in air travel and re-focus
operations for greater profitability.
Re-launch plans are subject to regulatory approvals from the US
Department of Transportation and the Federal Aviation
Administration. Details concerning Caribbean Sun's corporate
leadership, new route structure and other operational issues will
be disclosed following receipt of all government regulatory
approvals.
To emphasize its new launch, the carrier has introduced a
completely new brand identity -- centered on the stylized image of
a pineapple when viewed from overhead. The carrier notes the
pineapple is a universal symbol of hospitality.
The airline says its choice of new colors is equally significant
-- with the blue used for the lettering representing optimism,
confidence and trust, and the green and yellow of the burst
representing warmth and energy.
