KINGSTON, Jamaica – The Trinidad and Tobago state-owned Caribbean Airlines (CAL) Friday denied reports that it was being evicted from its location at Hope Road on the outskirts of the capital, saying “there is no eviction process under way”.
In a statement, the airline said it “has maintained ongoing and open communication with the landlord, as is customary, and the planned relocation is being managed in a way that ensures business continuity,”
The airline said that it has undertaken plans to relocate following the end of its existing lease and that all operations and services continue as normal, with no inconvenience to customers.
“Caribbean Airlines remains focused on delivering a reliable and seamless experience for its customers,” the statement added.
In November last year, CAL said it was discontinuing its direct flights between Jamaica and Fort Lauderdale, Florida, due to poor performance and challenging economic conditions.
In December 2025, the carrier announced that it would discontinue services on several regional routes as part of its ongoing network optimization programme aimed at enhancing schedule reliability, maintain competitiveness and ensure long-term sustainability.
“These changes form a critical part of our plan to deliver reliable service while managing our resources responsibly. Our customers remain our priority and these adjustments ensure we continue to provide strong regional connectivity, supported by a sustainable and competitive operational model,” acting chief executive officer, Nirmala Ramai, said then.
CAL said effective January 10, the airline would discontinue services on its Tortola, British Virgin islands (BVI) and San Juan, Puerto Rico routes following comprehensive evaluations of route performance and resource deployment.
In August 2025, Trinidad and Tobago Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar gave CAL a two-year ultimatum to “get their books in order” or face a complete overhaul of the company.
