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.
Caribbean Airlines Limited is pleased to announce that its Chairman, Mr. S. Ronnie Mohammed recently participated in the Prime Minister’s delegation to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
