Dominica Welcomes Additional Airlift, Foreign Travelers

The island of Dominica will receive an early Christmas gift this year when Caribbean Sun Airlines begins daily flights to this destination on December 15.

Speaking about the new service, Caribbean Sun and Caribbean Star President and Chief Executive Officer William “Skip” Barnette noted that the airlines´ strategic plan includes providing a greater quantity of flights to the region and promoting increased passenger traffic to the islands.

“This endeavor has been met with enthusiastic support from all stakeholders, particularly the Ministries of Tourism and the governments on the various islands. With the assurance of more regular flights into their territories, they can focus on developing their tourism packages and improving their overall services,” Mr. Barnette pointed out.

Access to the US tourist market will be made that much more attractive through the Caribbean Sun/US Airways codeshare agreement.

This allows for connections from Philadelphia and Charlotte on a daily basis, as well as weekend connections from New York (La Guardia), Pittsburgh and Washington, D.C. (Dulles).
