The airline also announced that it will reduce the frequency of its flights to the French islands of Martinique and Guadeloupe to twice weekly.

According to Caribbean Airlines, customers holding bookings on affected services beyond the applicable discontinuation dates will be contacted directly by the airline or through their travel agents.

The carrier said affected passengers will be offered re-accommodation on alternative regional services where feasible.

Passengers will also have the option of receiving a full refund for the unused portion of their ticket or retaining the ticket value as a future travel credit, subject to fare conditions.

Caribbean Airlines said it is also working toward concluding a codeshare agreement with a regional airline partner.

“Once finalized and approved, the agreement will provide customers with access to a wider network of destinations through coordinated schedules, seamless connections and integrated ticketing arrangements,” the airline said.

The airline added that, in keeping with standard aviation and regulatory practices, it “will undertake the necessary operational, regulatory and customer support processes to facilitate a smooth transition.”

“Caribbean Airlines remains committed to maintaining strong regional connectivity through a sustainable and commercially responsible network, while continuing to focus on operational reliability, customer experience and long-term financial stability,” the airline added.

Earlier, Eli Zakour told Parliament that a comprehensive review by Caribbean Airlines’ Route Oversight Committee found that several routes introduced during the airline’s 2023 Eastern Caribbean expansion were launched without sufficient commercial justification and have since generated sustained financial losses.

Zakour told legislators that, as of April 2026, the affected routes had recorded combined losses of more than US$18.84 million.
