In a significant development for Caribbean Airlines, CEO Garvin Medera has stepped down from his role after eight years at the helm. His resignation, reported by the Trinidad Express, follows mounting pressure from Trinidad and Tobago’s Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar, who issued a stern ultimatum to the airline’s management earlier this year. In August, Persad-Bissessar warned that leadership changes would be imminent if the company failed to address its operational challenges within two years. Medera’s departure also coincides with the resignation of the airline’s board following the country’s general elections in April. Recent months have seen heightened scrutiny of the airline’s financial operations, leading to the dismissal or suspension of several senior finance team members. In a strategic move, Caribbean Airlines announced the discontinuation of its services between Kingston and Montego Bay, Jamaica, and Fort Lauderdale, Florida, effective November 2, 2025, as part of efforts to streamline its network and improve efficiency.
