YS-11 In Action
Posted: 23 Jan 2019, 14:49
Shalom and greetings all my pals,
Here is interesting history about Air Caribbean airline!!! This airline based in Trinidad lasted about 7 years of operation from 1993 to 2000 serving home base for flights to Tobago, Barbados, Grenada, Guyana, and Miami as well as handling many charter flights. The airline used YS-11 and 737-200. The airline was direct competitor of mighty and bigger BWIA for those routes. Air Caribbean was doing well with about seven units of YS-11 until it made mistake buying fuel hog 737-200s without hush kits which ultimately drove the airline to bankruptcy.
Here is a nice whole day of office work abroad Air Caribbean YS-11 from TVSC Canouan Airport located on the island of Canouan in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines to TTPP Piarco International Airport located in Piarco 16 miles east of Port of Spain's central business district in Trinidad to TTCP A.N.R. Robinson International Airport formerly known as Crown Point International Airport located 6.8 miles from the capital Scarborough on the next door island of Tobago.
