Sunrise Airways has announced a significant expansion of its flight network, introducing new intra-regional routes connecting four Eastern Caribbean destinations: Antigua, Dominica, St. Kitts, and St. Lucia. The new routes will commence on May 25, 2024, and will be operated by Embraer 120 (EMB-120) twin-turboprop aircraft, capable of accommodating up to 30 passengers.
Philippe Bayard, Chairman and CEO of Sunrise Airways, expressed his enthusiasm for the new flights, stating, “All of us at Sunrise Airways have cherished each new route that we’ve inaugurated over the 12-year history of our airline. 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 new services will operate six days a week, excluding Tuesdays. There will be two daily flights between Antigua and Dominica, as well as between Antigua and St. Kitts. Additionally, a daily flight will connect Antigua and St. Lucia.
Bayard highlighted the flexibility and convenience the new routes provide, noting, “With two rotations per-day, our new Antigua, Dominica, and St. Kitts flights offer travelers in those markets tremendous flexibility. At the same time, our new Antigua–St. Lucia service stands out as the only direct flight connecting two of the Caribbean’s most popular tourist destinations. This creates exciting new options for multi-destination travel combining the sizzle of Antigua with the Creole savoir-faire of St. Lucia for the first time.”
This expansion follows the airline’s previous announcement in October 2023 of initiating its first flights to and from Miami. Currently, Sunrise Airways operates routes to 12 gateways in six destinations across the Caribbean and Central America, including Cuba, the Dominican Republic, Guadeloupe, Haiti, Panama City, and St. Maarten.
The airline has plans for further expansion in the Eastern Caribbean in 2024 and beyond, aiming to strengthen connectivity within the region.
