Caribbean Airlines Takes Over for BWIA

January 9, 2007 at 11:05 AM | by pbb | 0 Comments


While you were busy sleeping off your New Year's partying, BWIA was busy disappearing. British West Indies Airways is no longer. But don't fret: Caribbean Airlines is the newer, sleeker version that--Travel Weekly says--picked up the airline's traffic with nary a hiccup. That is, if you don't count the axing of about 1,200 employees. (Is the catering staff among them?)

According to the article, the new staff of about 600 is keeping flights around the Caribbean on track. Gateways to get to Port-of-Spain, Trinidad, remain Toronto, Miami, New York and London. If you had BWIA frequent flier miles (we're impressed!) those are still good, too. The best news? Online checkin begins tomorrow, making, here's hoping, lengthy lines a thing of the past.
