French-Caribbean carrier Air Antilles is back in the skies following a period of closure for restructuring.
The airline officially relaunched this week having ceased operations in 2023 following bankruptcy but has been resurrected from a takeover involving a partnership between the Collectivite of Saint Martin and the EDEIS group.
The airline is currently operating flights between Saint Martin (Grand Case Airport), Guadeloupe, Martinique and St Barth.
At present, Air Antilles is offering flights between Martinique and Guadeloupe starting at €149, one way; Guadeloupe and Saint Martin at €199 one way, and Martinique and Guadeloupe starting at €149 one way.
Speaking with Caribbean Journal, President of the Saint Martin Tourism Office, Valerie Damaseau commented, “This recovery is excellent news for Saint Martin. It strengthens connectivity between our islands, facilitates trade and tourism and contributes to the local economy. It’s an important step for our future.The relaunch of Air Antilles is part of what has actually been the most positive year for Caribbean regional aviation in years. Despite the void of LIAT’s absence, more and more carriers have been ramping up their intra-regional flights, from InterCaribbean Airways and Caribbean Airlines to St Maarten-based Winair, all of which have been adding new routes across the Caribbean.
The most notable development this year has been the new push by Frontier Airlines in San Juan, one that now includes flights across the Caribbean out of San Juan, including to Barbados, the Dominican Republic and Trinidad, among other destinations.
