- From 15 July, Grenada reopened Maurice Bishop International Airport
- Barbados is connecting hub for interCaribbean Airways
Using Barbados as its connecting hub, interCaribbean Airways as of 1 August 2020 will commence serving the Eastern Caribbean with flights to Grenada, St Lucia and St Vincent and the Grenadines.
“With flights already available to St Lucia, interCaribbean announces effective 1 August, connecting services will commence from Barbados’ Grantley Adams International Airport to Grenada, St Lucia, St Vincent and the Grenadines and Dominica,” said a statement from the airline which has been operating in the Northern Caribbean for the past 22 years. “The scheduled expansion in the Eastern Caribbean will give connective travel to the existing 22 cities served by interCaribbean across its Pan-Caribbean network as services are restored.”
For more than 2 decades, interCaribbean’s operations have focused on the western area of the Caribbean, with services in some of the region’s major cities in Antigua, Bahamas, Cuba, Dominica, Dominican Republic, Haiti, Puerto Rico, Jamaica, the British Virgin Islands, St Lucia, Turks and Caicos.
Tourism Minister, Clarice Modeste, announced last week that the airline is among 3 regional carriers expected to fill the void left by LIAT which is owned by regional governments and which is expected to go into liquidation.
On 15 July, Grenada reopened the Maurice Bishop International Airport (MBIA) for regional commercial passengers and has scheduled 1 August as the date for international flights. The airport was closed as part of measures to contain and control the spread Covid-19.
Great to have this Caribbean Airlie
Colin that’s true .the us is on the ban list for now.i booked a trip since February for August and it’s not happening.but the other countries that are welcome.i hope they know they will be tested and will have to pay for it.they will be quarantine for 14 days .and if u don’t compile u will face 1 year in jail or 1000 dollars .but before they travel u have to submit a covid 19 test to air line database .its just too much to txt
Ralph you sound just like your President .You told you that the virus is way down ??? Are you looking at Florida just because you live in New York it and the rate is low it means America has no virus . Guy just chill and stay safe cause we will not open for you guys just because you guys say so . Go talk to trump like that so he will treat you guys like a human beings and not like his dog or slave . Please
Please my country stay faraway from the people of high Risk country like ” Making America Great Again . Lol lol lmao lmao .They all think they above the law and nothing apply to them just like they illiterates President. Stay close close my country . Canada lock them out too no border crossing and they are blasted neighbours. No No and is No
I think Grenada should open up flight from New York since it’s level of COVID-19 cases are way down. Yes, if anyone comes from any of those states that seeing plateau in covid, they they would have to be quarantine for 14 days, state law. All should be required that before entering Granada one has to be tested negative for the virus. Why not!!
Can one fly from Europe to Bermuda connecting with InterCaribbean?
Too bad you are opening up to US. So many cases here especially Florida which is also a main airport to Grenada. I pray grenadians stay safe
Grenada is NOT opening to US flights.
Keep Grenada close.. Sounds like the new anthem for 2020. Anyway…..Noone asked for this virus we are all just trying to deal with what life has thrown at us.. Living through this virus in NYC was no joke. But we educated ourselves on how to cope and keep ourselves safe . thank god!!! We see hope for a better day.
