Making a positive difference

Caribbean Airlines making a difference in communities, impacting lives

Not only can you depend on our Inflight crew to share the warmth of the Caribbean while flying, but you can count on them to show genuine love and  care for the well-being of others  even when off duty,  as this is characteristic of their  true Caribbean Spirit.

Caribbean Airlines’ Kingston-based Inflight Team members undertook a number of selfless  initiatives  during nationwide Covid-19 lockdown restrictions  in early 2020 in Jamaica,  pooling their  resources together to donate much needed food supplies to a single mother, and also digging into their pockets to make a generous contribution to the Kingston Public Hospital.

Officials and medical practitioners at the hospital were  grateful to the crew for  their monetary contribution , donated specifically to help combat the  Covid-19 virus.

Our  Kingston crew,  led by   cabin crew supervisor Norma Williams, further  spearheaded a  “Frontline Workers Salute ” to  honor and recognise some  50  doctors and nurses at  said  hospital. In similar vein, they also  honored  11 members of staff at the National Chest Hospital in Kingston , as part of a targeted series of community events undertaken, to make a positive difference, during the nationwide Covid-19 lockdown period in that country.

Positive Response to Blood bank Call

But the crew didn’t  stop there.  When the Ministry of Health made a desperate appeal to Jamaican citizens to heed the call of the  Blood Bank, as supplies went  almost to zero,  22 of our Kingston based Cabin Attendants  responded to the call, without hesitation.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And as the pandemic raged on negatively impacting the lives of many citizens, our crew responded  to a  social media outcry for help by a  single mother of twins, and  donated a truck load of  food and supplies, much to the relief of the appreciative mother.

For their efforts they have since been awarded the Caribbean Airlines “Community  Staff Award” . Congratulations to the team!
