Commonwealth_ Caribbean Airlines has announced the commencement of its new service to the French island of Guadeloupe, further solidifying its commitment to fostering greater regional connectivity. This milestone marks another significant achievement in the airline’s ambitious expansion efforts, aligning with its vision of strengthening bonds across the Caribbean. The new route, operating four times a week via St. Lucia and Dominica, provides passengers with enhanced travel options and a seamless journey across the region. This addition not only facilitates enhanced collaboration and exploration but also marks a significant advancement in the airline’s efforts to more closely integrate the Caribbean.
The service to Guadeloupe concludes a year of remarkable growth for Caribbean Airlines. In 2024 alone, the airline’s network expanded with the inclusion of Puerto Rico, Martinique, and now Guadeloupe. These new destinations complement other regional advancements, such as the introduction of flights between Ogle, Guyana, and Suriname; expanded schedules both regionally and internationally; and the highly anticipated relaunch of the Fort Lauderdale to Kingston route.
Garvin Medera, CEO of Caribbean Airlines, expressed his excitement over this latest development. He stated, “At Caribbean Airlines, our theme of ‘Welcome Home’ reflects our dedication to uniting the Caribbean and beyond. This new service to Guadeloupe is a testament to our commitment to building bridges within the region and fostering cultural exchange, trade, education, and community connections. Whether traveling for business, leisure, or to visit loved ones, our network is tailored to ensure every journey is welcoming and seamless.”
Medera also highlighted the broader significance of this achievement, adding, “As we reflect on a year of dynamic growth, we are proud to lead the way in regional connectivity. The start of service to Guadeloupe is not just an expansion of our network; it is a reaffirmation of our pledge to drive unity and opportunity while celebrating the rich and diverse culture of the Caribbean.”
People celebrate Guadeloupe for its vibrant Creole culture, breathtaking natural landscapes, and iconic attractions like the La Soufrière Volcano. By linking this French overseas region with St. Lucia, Dominica, and Trinidad, Caribbean Airlines is providing travelers with new gateways to explore the region’s unparalleled beauty and heritage.
Caribbean Airlines has meticulously designed the schedule for this route to ensure smooth connections to and from other destinations within its extensive network. This approach reflects Caribbean Airlines’ commitment to delivering convenient and hassle-free travel solutions for its customers. Guadeloupe’s aviation stakeholders have enthusiastically welcomed the launch. Alain Bièvre, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Guadeloupe’s Maryse Condé Airport, shared his sentiments, stating, “Expanding our regional network is a top priority. Caribbean Airlines connecting the southern islands to our butterfly archipelago is excellent news. We are excited to build a strong partnership with the airline and strengthen ties within the Caribbean.”
This new service underscores Caribbean Airlines’ leadership in regional aviation. The airline has consistently prioritized reliable service, warm hospitality, and innovative solutions, making it a preferred carrier for Caribbean residents and visitors alike.
As the airline continues its mission to connect the Caribbean with the wider world, this new route serves as a powerful reminder of its role in uniting people, enabling opportunities, and showcasing the vibrant cultural tapestry of the region. Whether it is the pristine beaches of Guadeloupe, the bustling hubs of Trinidad, or the verdant landscapes of Dominica and St. Lucia, Caribbean Airlines is ensuring that the wonders of the Caribbean are more accessible than ever.
