Antigua St John's - Tradewind Aviation recently announced regular, non-stop flights between Antigua and St Barthelemy. The new service will operate twice daily in Tradewind’s fleet of executive configured turbine aircraft.

A release said flights are operated by two pilots, with air-conditioning and complimentary drinks and snacks. Flights are also offered between San Juan and Antigua, with a short stopover in St Barthelemy.

“For the British visitor, St Barth's has been a very difficult journey, requiring an overnight in Antigua and two stops or an expensive private charter," said David Zara, vice president of Tradewind Aviation, in a written release.

“Travelers from London and beyond can now visit St. Barth's with just one stop in Antigua, which is very well served with daily non-stop flights from the U.K. We are thrilled to be introducing this unique route.”

Prices start at $395 one way. Celebrating this new route, Tradewind is offering a $100 per round trip discount for purchases made by May 31.

Meanwhile, Premier of Nevis Joseph Parry has welcomed the decision by a Montserrat-based airline to expand its operations by including daily flights between Nevis and Antigua.

The airline, Fly Montserrat, has reportedly received route licenses, with the new service expected to begin on June 4.

While the fares on Fly Montserrat are now being finalized, the airline said they should be similar to what passengers are now paying with the regional airline, LIAT.

The airline said it also expects to expand by offering more flights as demand increases.
