More carriers restarting service

By the Caribbean Journal staff

Regional airline Seaborne is relaunching service to storm-ravaged Dominica on Wednesday, the company announced.

The daily flights will depart from Dominica each morning at 7 AM, with flights from San Juan to Dominica at 3:25 PM.

Seaborne had canceled all flights to Dominica after damage to the island’s Douglas-Charles International Airport.

“We want to thank Ross University for their massive efforts to move students, faculty and relief workers into and out of the country as well as providing additional ferry service from Guadeloupe to Dominica during this challenging time,” said Seaborne President and CEO Gary Foss. “We also would like to recognize and thank The Dominica Air and Sea Ports Authority, for their round-the-clock work to restore the airport’s infrastructure, allowing the country to be re-linked to the global transportation grid.   Their efforts have been nothing less than heroic.”
