(Trinidad Express) Laura Asbjornsen, vice president communications Caribbean Airlines (CAL), has been terminated from her position at the State carrier.
She was relieved of her duties with immediate effect yesterday, sources confirmed to the Express. Asbjornsen received a letter from CAL’s Piarco offices late yesterday afternoon. No reason was given for her termination.
Asbjornsen joined CAL in early 2009. She was brought to the airline to head up its corporate communications department by former Caribbean Airlines CEO Philip Saunders. Asbjornsen led the company’s corporate communications during its acquisition of Air Jamaica earlier this year.
Asbjornsen could not be immediately reached for comment yesterday. The Express understands that three more senior positions at CAL are expected to be terminated in the near future.
Acting CAL CEO Robert Corbie was said to be out of the country and could not be reached. CAL chairman George Nicholas’ phone went to voice mail when contacted by the Express yesterday.
