Caribbean Air­lines is rub­bish­ing safe­ty haz­ard claims by the Trinidad and To­ba­go Air­line Pi­lots As­so­ci­a­tion (TTAL­PA) as 'reck­less!'

Re­spond­ing to Mon­day's emer­gency land­ing of BW1541 with 68 pas­sen­gers on­board, the TTAL­PA claimed that over the last decade it has been rais­ing mul­ti­ple safe­ty con­cerns with CAL over its ATR air­craft. The as­so­ci­a­tion al­so ac­cused the com­pa­ny of ig­nor­ing their con­cerns.

How­ev­er, in a me­dia re­lease on Mon­day, the state-owned air­line re­it­er­at­ed its com­mit­ment to safe­ty say­ing, it op­er­ates in strict com­pli­ance with lo­cal and in­ter­na­tion­al avi­a­tion safe­ty reg­u­la­tions. Fur­ther­more, CAL says it is sub­ject to rig­or­ous over­sight from mul­ti­ple in­de­pen­dent lo­cal and in­ter­na­tion­al reg­u­la­to­ry bod­ies.
