Starting May 25, Sunrise Airways will add intraregional flights connecting four destinations within the Eastern Caribbean: Antigua, Dominica, St. Kitts and St. Lucia. The carrier will utilize Embraer 120 twin-turboprop aircraft, each with a maximum seating capacity of 30 passengers.
The new routes will operate every day except Tuesdays, with two flights daily between Antigua to Dominica and Antigua to St. Kitts and daily service from Antigua to St. Lucia.
"All of us at Sunrise Airways have cherished each new route that we've inaugurated over the 12-year history of our airline," said Sunrise Airways chairman and CEO, Philippe Bayard. "This latest expansion, though, is extra special as it brings the mission we started in the Western Caribbean: to better connect our islands under our One Caribbean concept, to the Eastern Caribbean in the biggest way yet."
The carrier said its Antigua-to-St. Lucia service is the only one connecting the two islands.
The expansion in the Eastern Caribbean follows the October debut of the carrier's first flights connecting Miami and Haiti. Cap-Haitien is the only currently available route. As the security situation in Port-au-Prince improves, flights between Miami and Haiti's capital will resume.
Sunrise Airways serves an additional 12 gateways across six Caribbean and Central American destinations: Cuba, the Dominican Republic, Guadeloupe, Haiti, Panama City and St. Maarten. The carrier said it plans to expand further in the Eastern Caribbean in 2024 and beyond, but did not offer details.
