Garvin Medera, the long-serving Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Caribbean Airlines, has stepped down from his position after eight years at the helm. His resignation, reported by the Trinidad Express, follows a stern ultimatum issued earlier this year by Trinidad and Tobago’s Prime Minister, Kamla Persad-Bissessar. In August, the Prime Minister warned the airline’s management that they would be replaced within two years if they failed to address the operational challenges plaguing the company. Medera’s departure comes in the wake of the airline’s board resigning after the country’s general elections in April. The airline has faced heightened scrutiny in recent months, leading to the dismissal or suspension of several high-ranking members of the finance team. Additionally, Caribbean Airlines has announced the discontinuation of its services between Kingston, Montego Bay, and Fort Lauderdale, effective November 2, 2025, as part of efforts to optimize its network. This move underscores the airline’s ongoing struggles and its attempts to streamline operations amidst financial and operational pressures.
