CAL: Passengers Diverted To Puerto Rico Finally Arrive At Piarco International Airport

By Newsroom

Caribbean Airlines has now advised that all passengers whose flight was diverted to Puerto Rico on Monday due to a medical emergency, have arrived in Trinidad.

The Airline said it intended to have the relief flight operate on the same day of the diversion, however Puerto Rico is not a destination on Caribbean Airlines’ regular route network, and the Airline said while support systems were in place on the island, several factors outside of its authority made the operation less efficient than planned.

The relief flight landed at 2:26 am, according to a statement from the Airline.
