These new services add to the airline’s nonstop flights to Tortola, St. Maarten and Providenciales, Turks and Caicos, reported Caribbean Journal (CJ).
The announcement came from interCaribbean’s Chairman and Founder Lyndon Gardiner, and the airline’s Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Executive Director Trevor Sadler.
“At interCaribbean Airways, we know that the Dominican Republic currently leads the region as an economic engine and as a strategic commercial and business point,” said Sadler in a recent presentation to stakeholders. “Our intention is to facilitate the opportunity through the introduction of these new routes.”
The new destinations of Aruba and Curaçao will also serve as new routes for the British Virgin Islands with connections to and from Tortola via Santo Domingo. Direct flights from Tortola, interCaribbean’s second hub, include services to San Juan, Puerto Rico, Antigua, St. Maarten, Santo Domingo, St. Lucia and Providenciales with connections to Kingston and Nassau.
The date of the service’s commencement will be confirmed soon, the company said.
The Turks and Caicos-based carrier, which connects 22 destinations and 14 countries in the Caribbean, will also be adding a larger aircraft to its fleet, increasing its passenger, and nonstop and direct flight capacity.
“interCaribbean has a long-standing history and relationship with the Dominican Republic and we consider it a privilege to be serving the Dominican community, not only as a way to enjoy tourism elsewhere in the Caribbean, but also by being able to connect all Dominicans who live throughout the Caribbean,” Sadler said.
The company also said it would be adding a new Embraer 145 jet, a 50-seat aircraft that would soon join the company’s fleet of Twin Otter and Embraer 120 planes.

ziet er 100x beter uit dan die schroot hoop van Insel Air
Las net het artikel over verlaten jachten op St. Maarten en daaraan verbonden kosten voor ruiming. Zeer tendentieel! Ten eerste: alle jachten, zijn bezoekend of lokaal, zijn geregistreerd bij havenmeester, met naam en adres eigenaar. Eigenaren kunnen dus worden opgespoord en rekeningen gestuurd. Ten tweede: als het al waar is dat in de foto getoonde jacht op die manier is achter gelaten: zie bovenstaande. Maar impliciet te suggereren dat jacht eigenaren rijk, a-sociaal, onverantwoordelijk zijn is stemming maken, ten koste van gewone mensen die hebben gekozen voor een leven op hun boot. En daar vaak hard voor hebben gewerkt om dit mogelijk te maken.
