By: Caribbean Journal Staff - November 21, 2024 - 4:06 pm

The Friendly Island, the Helen of the West Indies. There’s a new way to fly between two of the most beloved destinations in the Caribbean: St Maarten and Saint Lucia.

Fast-growing Caribbean carrier Winair has kicked off its new route between St Maarten and Saint Lucia.

The inaugural flight touched down in Saint Lucia’s George FL Charles Airport this week.

The service will be operating twice each week, with flights on Tuessadys and Saturdays. You should note that the Saturday service stops first in St Vincent before heading to Saint Lucia.

The flights do help open up Saint Lucia to the vast number of US and European airlines that fly to St Maarten.
