Aviation Safety Regulations Key Facts:

• Adherence to International Standards: Caribbean Airlines complies fully with the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) standards and the IATA Operational Safety Audit (IOSA), both of which are globally recognized for ensuring the highest levels of airline safety and operational excellence.
• Independent Audits and Regulatory Compliance: The airline has consistently passed all required audits. Most importantly, it is an approved FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) repair station in accordance with the specified FAA capability listing, meaning that its maintenance and engineering department has been certified by the FAA as having the technical expertise to perform repairs, inspections, and alterations on aircraft and aircraft components, meeting strict international aviation standards.
• Ongoing Investigations: In line with the industry’s best practices and regulatory requirements, following the emergency landing on January 27, Caribbean Airlines has fully activated its operational response protocols, including:
  • • Immediately removing all relevant personnel from active duty pending the outcome of investigations.
    • Cooperating fully with the authorities to conduct comprehensive internal and external investigations.

The airline thinks TTALPA’s claims are very reckless. They do not serve the best interests of the airline, its stakeholders, or its valued customers.

Caribbean Airlines is committed to maintaining high standards of aviation safety. This is shown by its strong safety record and dedication to following regulations.
