Caribbean Airlines Limited has shared the news that Mr. S. Ronnie Mohammed, its Chairman, had the opportunity to participate in the Prime Minister’s delegation to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

During the visit, Mr. Mohammed held discussions with Mr. Rashed Alshammair, Vice President of Commercial from Saudi Arabia’s Air Connectivity Program (ACP), with the aim of exploring areas of cooperation and collaboration between Caribbean Airlines and Saudi Arabia.

The Saudi Air Connectivity Program was established in 2021 and aims to strengthen tourism growth in Saudi Arabia by improving air connectivity and developing existing and potential air routes.

By working at the intersection of tourism and aviation, ACP plays a vital role in realizing the National Tourism Strategy’s vision, positioning Saudi Arabia as a global leader in tourism air connectivity.

These strategic meetings align with Caribbean Airlines’ ambitious strategic plan for the years 2023-2027, which places network growth as one of its key pillars.

Caribbean Airlines recognizes the significance of Saudi Arabia as a destination for the Muslim community in Trinidad and Tobago and the broader region, particularly for the Hajj and Umrah pilgrimages. As such, Caribbean Airlines is eager to contribute to the facilitation of affordable and convenient travel.

During the discussions, Mr. Mohammed explored potential interline arrangements with Saudi Air and Riyadh Air, with the latter set to launch in 2024.

This initiative is a crucial component of Caribbean Airlines’ growth strategy, emphasizing partnerships with airlines and stakeholders to extend its reach and enhance connectivity between Trinidad and Tobago, the Caribbean, and the global community
