More InterCaribbean Airways flights for Barbados

InterCaribbean Airways’ flights to and from Barbados will double with the carrier increasing its fleet and expanding its flight schedule next month.

The low-cost Turks and Caicos Islands-based airline announced on Monday that it has two additional aircraft and will expand flights to service Antigua, Barbados, Dominica, Grenada, Guyana, St Lucia, and St Vincent and the Grenadines from March 12.

The introduction of a 50-seat Embraer 145 Jet and an ATR 42-500 series turboprop with 48-seat capacity increases InterCaribbean’s fleet to five servicing the Barbados and Windward Islands’ routes.

The expanded fleet and extended schedule now link the Eastern and Western Caribbean with 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 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 nonstop flights between St Vincent and St Lucia.

“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 [COVID-19] pandemic,” said founder and chairman of InterCaribbean Airways, Lyndon Gardiner.

“It is a privilege to serve these islands and we will continue to work to demonstrate ourselves equal to that privilege and trust, with a 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,” he added.

This year, InterCaribbean Airways will also steadily decommission older aircraft while adding several newer ones to continuously enhance its customer service and schedule options, at the same time providing greater passenger comfort and convenience. (PR/BT)
