#TurksandCaicos, February 15, 2023 – InterCaribbean Airways has announced an expansion with the addition of two aircraft to its fleet and an increased flight schedule to service Antigua, Barbados, Dominica, Grenada, Guyana, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent & The Grenadines.

The regional airline has introduced another Embraer 145 Jet and an ATR 42-500 series turboprop, with a seating capacity of 50 and 48 seats, respectively, increasing the airline’s fleet to 5 aircraft.

With the expanded fleet, InterCaribbean can offer travellers enhanced schedule options and improved intra-regional travel with greater connectivity among the islands.

Flights to and from Barbados will double, with more flights going nonstop to St. Vincent and Grenada, offering greater availability to these destinations.  InterCaribbean has also launched new nonstop flights between St Vincent and St Lucia to provide fast connections between the islands.

The extended schedule now links the Eastern and Western Caribbean with twice weekly service from Georgetown and Barbados via Antigua to Providenciales (Turks and Caicos), connecting onwards to Nassau, Bahamas, Havana, Cuba and Kingston, Jamaica.

Founder and Chairman of InterCaribbean Airways, Lyndon Gardiner in commenting on the expansion, said:

“We are committed to expanding our services in the Eastern Islands of the Caribbean, where travellers have been affected by the air travel void left during the pandemic. It is a privilege to serve these Islands, and we will continue to work to demonstrate ourselves equal to that privilege and trust with a dedication to safety and creating an overall satisfying experience for all our passengers; we look forward to announcing more exciting news and destinations during this year.”
