Caribbean Sun To Become 737 Operator

Caribbean Sun Airlines, which ceased flights in January after four years of service, said it will re-launch by the end of 2007, this time trading in its Dash 8s for Boeing 737. It is currently recruiting pilots. Caribbean Sun’s re-launch follows a comprehensive six-month restructuring program to identify new growth opportunities and re-focus operations for greater profitability. Re-launch plans are subject to regulatory approvals from the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). Details concerning Caribbean Sun’s corporate leadership, new route structure and other operational issues will be announced after it is certificated. As part of its efforts, it also introduced a new brand identity. Developed by Aerobrand, Inc., the new design centers on the stylized image of a pineapple, the universal, and embodies the image of the sun, providing a fresh spin on the airline’s original corporate identity. Its new livery incorporates blue, green and yellow.
