The airline is committed to supporting worthwhile initiatives that help to build tomorrow's future leaders

During the first quarter of 2024 Caribbean Airlines supported a number of educational initiatives  aimed at developing  cognitive and other academic skills in young people at various schools  in Trinidad and Tobago .

The airline, for example,  was delighted to partner with Fatima College as it hosted its  annual  Form 6  “Aloysius Joseph  Public Speaking” competition in February 2024.

The initiative aimed  in part to cultivate the students speaking/communication abilities, research and debating skills,  which all come in   handy for successfully navigating through school and life in general.
