In a bul­letin to staff Mo­hammed said, “As I pre­pare to step down from my role as chair­man of the board of di­rec­tors, I want to take a mo­ment to ex­press my heart­felt grat­i­tude to each, and every one of you at Caribbean Air­lines. It has been an in­cred­i­ble jour­ney work­ing along­side such a ded­i­cat­ed and pas­sion­ate group of in­di­vid­u­als.”

The staff no­tice con­tin­ued, “To­geth­er, we have nav­i­gat­ed chal­lenges, cel­e­brat­ed achieve­ments, and built a com­pa­ny that not on­ly con­nects the Caribbean, but al­so pro­vides a sense of pride and iden­ti­ty for our re­gion. I am tru­ly proud of what we have ac­com­plished to­geth­er, and I have every con­fi­dence that the fu­ture of Caribbean Air­lines is bright.”
