interCaribbean Airways has announced the addition of two aircraft to its fleet and an expanded flight schedule to service Antigua, Barbados, Dominica, Grenada, Guyana, St. Lucia, St. Vincent and The Grenadines beginning March 12.
The introduction of another Embraer 145 Jet and an ATR42-500 series turboprop, with seating capacity of 50 and 48, respectively, increases interCaribbean’ s fleet to five aircraft servicing the Barbados and Windward Islands routes, the airline said.
With this expanded fleet, interCaribbean said it now offers travellers enhanced schedule options and improved intra-regional travel with greater connectivity among the Islands.
Flights to and from Barbados will double, with more flights going nonstop to St. Vincent and Grenada offering greater availability to these destinations. interCaribbean is also launching new non-stop flights between St. Vincent and St. Lucia to give fast connections between these two destinations.
“The extended schedule now links the Eastern and Western Caribbean with a twice weekly service from Georgetown and Barbados via Antigua to Providenciales (Turks and Caicos), connecting onwards to Nassau, Bahamas, Havana, Cuba and Kingston, Jamaica,” the airline said.
“We are committed to expanding our services in the eastern islands of the Caribbean, where travellers have been affected by the air travel void left during the pandemic,” said Lyndon Gardiner, founder and chairman of interCaribbean Airways.
“It is a privilege to serve these Islands and we will continue to work to demonstrate ourselves equal to that privilege and trust with dedication to safety, and creating an overall satisfying experience for all our passengers, we look forward to announcing more exciting news and destinations during this year.”
