Air Adelphi
has launched a new service linking Martinique to Saint Lucia and Saint Vincent, starting December 11, 2024. This
new air service
represents a significant step forward for regional connectivity in the Caribbean. The airline will operate three weekly flights on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, using 19-seat Twin Otter aircraft. Currently, the round-trip fare is set at €350, with plans to negotiate lower prices and improve accessibility for travelers in the region. This initiative aims to strengthen regional connectivity and facilitate travel for events such as festivals.
Air transport to the Caribbean islands
The air service to the Caribbean islands is set to boom in 2024. The company Air Adelphi in turn opens the door to Saint Vincent and Saint Lucia. The average ticket price is currently around 350 euros, but with the aim of reduce prices to attract more travelers.
More frequent air travel to Saint Lucia and Saint Vincent is now possible. With the opening of the new scheduled service operated by Air Adelphi Wednesday December 11, the connection between Martinique and our Caribbean neighbors is growing stronger.
Jet Aviation Service boosts service
With the support of Jet Aviation Service, Félix Jean-François’ handling company, the route will operate at least 3 rotations per week to Martinique with these 5 twin-engine 19-seater aircraft. Melissa Joseph, the company’s Director of Operations Air Adelphis new site:
“Air Adelphi plans to operate triple services between the 3 islands on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. The aircraft will depart from St. Vincent. We fly from St. Vincent to St. Lucia, with connections to Martinique. Then at 9:30 a.m., we depart from Martinique to Saint Lucia, with a connecting flight to Saint Vincent.
An ambition for regional connectivity
Adelphi
is looking to open up the corridor between our two countries, not least because we all share such a rich history and culture. We use Martinique as a hub to open up the corridor between the UK and the other Caribbean islands. It’s a great gateway to the Caribbean. We’d like to open up the avenues for other Caribbean countries to Martinique too, such as Barbados, Grenada, Dominica and Trinidad.
Attractive rates for travellers
The ambition is to promote the connectivity that already exists between our territories, despite the strong competition. The company is therefore committed to reducing ticket prices and making its service more affordable:
“Currently, the price is 350 euros for a round trip. However, we have been working with the aviation authorities to bring these prices down to make them more attractive and affordable for people from Martinique, Saint Lucia and Saint Vincent. This is an ongoing process. We hope to have some sort of dispensation that we can then pass on to customers. There would be even cheaper, more affordable tickets. The aim would really be to create a bridge between our countries, manage to do day trips, festival trips, and all sorts of things like that.”
The new air service d’Air Adelphi between Martinique, Saint Lucia and Saint Vincent marks a turning point in the Caribbean air transport landscape. With ambitions for improved connections and affordable fares, this initiative could transform inter-island travel, facilitating access to cultural events and strengthening economic ties between these territories. By adopting cost-cutting measures, Air Adelphi hopes to encourage more passengers to explore these magnificent destinations.
