ST. GEORGE’S, Grenada, CMC -The Grenada Tourism Authority (GTA) welcomed Sunrise Airways’ decision to begin serving the island on Monday. The new intra-Caribbean flight service will create unprecedented north-to-south access across the Caribbean.
“This much-anticipated route links Antigua, St. Lucia, Dominica, and Grenada, making it possible for travelers to reach Grenada from Antigua in under three hours and St Lucia in forty-five minutes. Flights will operate thrice weekly on Wednesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays,” the GTA said.
GTA chief executive officer Petra Roach said this new service is a significant milestone in the GTA’s goal to foster more 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, which reduces the transfer time to the capital and main resort areas.
“This convenience allows travelers to experience the islands with ease. The schedule supports 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.
GTA said this new connectivity aligns with the Grenada Tourism Authority’s strategy to bolster regional tourism by enhancing visitor flow from neighboring Caribbean islands. It added that special introductory rates are also providing an added incentive to experience this new route.
