Puerto Rico, Martinique, and now Guadeloupe.
Caribbean Airlines Limited (CAL) continues its mandate of expanding its reach, connecting the Caribbean and the world.
CAL’s Chief Executive Officer, Garvin Medera, revealed that flights will depart Piarco with brief stops in Dominica and St. Lucia, before landing in Guadeloupe.
“From today, customers in Trinidad and Tobago, Dominica, and St. Lucia can fly directly to Guadeloupe four times a week. Our carefully crafted schedule also facilitates smooth connections from other points in our extensive network, enabling vital regional connectivity.”
French Ambassador Didier Chabert encouraged persons to take advantage of this connectivity.
“We all know the multiple beauties of Trinidad and Tobago, a wild and beautiful nature, beaches where blue water meets the flavours of bake and shark, music everywhere, and of course, a world-renowned Carnival. The people of Guadeloupe have every reason to come here to discover Trinidad and Tobago.”
Director of Alliance Française of TT, Anyka Batista, said this new route gives people the opportunity to connect to a new culture and reconnect with family and friends.
“At the Alliance Francaise, we are very interested in promoting language and culture. We encourage student programmes as well and thanks to Caribbean Airlines and this new connection between Guadeloupe, between Martinique, we are able to promote our student exchange programmes and to restart, to relaunch since the pandemic so this is essential for us.”
One passenger, Cecilia Linares, said, “This flight, it will going to be very, very good for all, I mean, tourists that want to know the Caribbean area, not English and French and maybe sometime Dutch also, Aruba, Curacao and Bonaire. Yeah, it’s very important the connections, the connection between us.”
This new service will provide 300 seats every week and increase connectivity between the French, Spanish, Dutch, and English speaking Caribbean.
