Sunrise Airways now offering flights to three additional Caribbean destinations

Sunrise Airways has revealed its intention to expand its route network by adding three new destinations in the Eastern Caribbean, with plans to commence flights to Grenada, St Vincent, and Tortola beginning in late October 2024.

The airline’s expansion will also involve establishing new links to and from Guadeloupe as part of its “One Caribbean doctrine,” which aims to enhance regional connectivity.

Philippe Bayard, Chairman and CEO of Sunrise Airways, expressed excitement about the new flights, stating that the addition represents a significant advancement in realizing the company’s vision for improved connectivity within the region.

This expansion comes after the carrier’s successful entry into Eastern Caribbean markets in May 2024, when it began serving Antigua, Dominica, St Kitts, and St Lucia.

Bayard expressed optimism about the potential for growth and success across the broader Eastern Caribbean region.

The rollout will take place in three phases, with the first phase commencing on October 27, 2024.

During this phase, thrice-weekly flights to Grenada and four-times-weekly service to Guadeloupe and St Vincent will be initiated, all originating from Antigua with connections available to Dominica, St Kitts, and St Lucia. Phase II, which is set to launch on December 2, 2024, will introduce twice-weekly flights to Tortola, British Virgin Islands, originating in Antigua with continuing service to Santo Domingo.

Connections will be available for passengers from Dominica and St Kitts. The final phase, beginning on December 4, 2024, will see the introduction of twice-weekly nonstop flights linking Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic with Pointe-à-Pitre, Guadeloupe.
