The Grenada Tourism Authority (GTA) has expressed enthusiasm over the decision by Haiti-based Sunrise Airways to launch new intra-Caribbean flights to Grenada. This service enhances north-to-south access across the Caribbean, linking Antigua, St. Lucia, Dominica, and Grenada.
Travelers can now reach Grenada from Antigua in under three hours and from St. Lucia in just 45 minutes, with flights operating three times a week on Wednesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays. GTA CEO Petra Roach emphasized that this new service is a significant milestone in promoting regional tourism.
“The Caribbean is our third largest market for visitation to Grenada, and this improved connectivity between the north and south Caribbean provides an opportunity to stimulate demand even further. Our islands will benefit from strengthened economic and tourism links,” she added.
”Sunrise Airways is thrilled to introduce service to Grenada. We now operate in five islands in the OECS as part of our Eastern Caribbean expansion. We fly to connect people, and our routes inspire travelers to discover new destinations when planning their trips,” said Colin Piper of Sunrise Airways.
The GTA said Sunrise Airways offers a direct non-stop flight to Grenada out of the Vigie Airport in Castries, giving a shorter transfer time to the capital and main resort areas.
“This convenience allows travelers to experience the islands with ease. The schedule supports both weekend getaways and extended stays, offering more flexibility for leisure travelers, business professionals, and anyone eager to explore the unique attractions across these islands,” the GTA added.
The GTA said this new connectivity aligns with the Grenada Tourism Authority’s strategy to bolster regional tourism enhancing visitor flow from neighboring Caribbean islands, adding that special introductory rates are also providing an added incentive to experience this new route.
