Regional carrier interCaribbean Airways is launching new service between Barbados and St Kitts.
The new flights will launch Sunday, March 12, with service on Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays.
“Prior to the pandemic, the Caribbean was the second-largest source market of tourism for St. Kitts,” said St Kitts Tourism Minister Marsha Henderson. “”Since 2020, restrictions and lack of airlift across the Caribbean have severely impacted arrival numbers. The initiation of service with [interCaribbean] will re-open St. Kitts to quick, reliable, and accessible travel across the islands and further support tourism expansion for the destination.”
The flights also help open up St Kitts to a number of transatlantic flights that connect Europe and Barbados.
“We are thrilled to initiate service with ICA this spring, as the service will allow travellers to move smoothly across islands,” said Ellison “Tommy” Thompson, CEO of the St. Kitts Tourism Authority. “These direct flight options with ICA allow St. Kitts to be more accessible to regional travelers, while opening the doors to our many wonderful tourism offerings, exciting “Summer of Fun” events, and one-of-a-kind experiences.”
The flights also offer one-stop connections to Caribbean destinations including Grenada, St Vincent, St Lucia, Dominica and Guyana.
“Over the last 31 years, interCaribbean Airways has made great strides towards our goal of becoming a truly complete, Pan-Caribbean airline,” said Lyndon Gardiner, Chairman, interCaribbean Airways. “The addition of service between St. Kitts and Barbados allows us to connect regions like never before. We are excited to continue expanding access to intra Caribbean travel and doing our part to drive further tourism recovery across the region.”
