Amer­i­jet In­ter­na­tion­al re­cent­ly cel­e­brat­ed 25 years of ser­vice to T&T with a small func­tion at their fa­cil­i­ty at the Pi­ar­co In­ter­na­tion­al Air­port which was at­tend­ed by the Comp­trol­ler of Cus­toms along with sev­er­al of their reg­u­lar cus­tomers and couri­er com­pa­nies which use Amer­i­jet for their ship­ments in­to and out of the coun­try.

Sev­er­al sto­ry-boards were on dis­play which de­pict­ed a wide range of "in­ter­est­ing" ship­ments that the air­line has done over the years, in­clud­ing the move­ment of the li­ons (Kei­th and Kam­la) and the gi­raffes (Mel­man and Man­dela) for the lo­cal Zoo; the his­toric first an­nu­al ship­ment of 24,000 lap­top com­put­ers for the school chil­dren and many oth­er com­mer­cial as well as char­i­ta­ble ship­ments in ser­vice to neigh­bour­ing com­mu­ni­ties rav­aged by storms over the years.

In his wel­come speech, com­pa­ny di­rec­tor Si­mon Pan­tin, high­light­ed the jour­ney of the air­line which had faced many ob­sta­cles over its 25 year his­to­ry in T&T.

How­ev­er, he praised the way the lo­cal au­thor­i­ties were even­tu­al­ly able to em­brace the qual­i­ty of ser­vice the air­line pro­vides and through con­sis­tent, qual­i­ty ser­vice, Amer­i­jet has grown to a dai­ly freighter sched­ule and has been op­er­at­ing the first and on­ly car­go hub for air freight in the South Caribbean for more than eight years.

Ni­rad Tewarie, CEO of Am­cham T&T thanked Amer­i­jet for their long part­ner­ship with the busi­ness group and spoke about the need for in­creased in­vest­ment to de­vel­op trade.

The com­pa­ny used the op­por­tu­ni­ty to cel­e­brate its em­ploy­ees, and sev­er­al staff mem­bers with tenures rang­ing from five to 20 years of ded­i­cat­ed ser­vice, re­ceived awards to com­mem­o­rate their achieve­ments.

Amer­i­jet In­ter­na­tion­al is an all-car­go air car­ri­er, op­er­at­ing Boe­ing 767 and Boe­ing 727 air­craft from its pri­ma­ry hub at Mi­a­mi In­ter­na­tion­al Air­port to des­ti­na­tions through­out the Caribbean, Cen­tral Amer­i­ca, Mex­i­co and South Amer­i­ca.
