CARIBBEAN STAR SIGNS AGREEMENT WITH INTERNATIONAL AIRLINES

Caribbean Star Airlines recently signed interline agreements with three international carriers. They are Virgin Atlantic, British Airways and Air Canada. 

This agreement will allow passengers traveling into and out of the Caribbean to be ticketed for travel with Caribbean Star Airlines from their point of origin to their destination. 

Marketing Director of Caribbean Star Sandra Scotland says that this is a major positive development for the airline. "This is a progressive step for us to be recognized as an option for travel within the region by major international airlines. These carriers mobilize a significant number of passengers into the Caribbean annually, and we are happy to be in a position to provide travel possibilities", she says. The interline agreement allows the international air carriers to use Caribbean Star services as part of the passenger’s journey as well as tagging their luggage all the way to their final Caribbean destination on Caribbean Star. 

The interline agreement allows the international air carriers to offer Caribbean Star as an airline of choice and to provide the consumer with transfer from origin and destination. 

Caribbean Star CEO Gilles Filiatreault commented, "It is certainly a vote of confidence for us, entering into an interline agreement with these well recognized international carriers which are known for their high standard of safety, service and performance. We are clearly becoming a vital force in the Caribbean’s effort to propel the growth of tourism - dependent economies in the Caribbean area." 

Meanwhile, Caribbean Star is in talks with other major international carriers.
