Facilitating connectivity within the Caribbean is the main objective of interCaribbean Airways, a regional airline based in the Turks and Caicos that joins the Latin American and Caribbean Air Transport Association (ALTA) as a new member.
Founded in 1991 as InterIsland Airways, the airline today reaches 27 destinations, with flights spanning from the Turks and Caicos Islands, Antigua, British Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic, Cuba, Haiti, Guyana, Jamaica, Bahamas, Barbados, Dominica, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Grenada and St. Maarten. Domestic flights are operated in the Turks and Caicos Islands.
“As interCaribbean, at ALTA we seek to contribute to having a Caribbean that is increasingly and better connected. For this reason, we are very happy and proud to welcome interCaribbean, whose commitment to offering an essential service to millions of people is very strong. Especially in the Caribbean, with so many territories, air transport is essential, not only for tourism that generates more than 15% of the jobs and GDP of the countries, but also to provide humanitarian service, transport essential goods and provide the population the most efficient and safest means of transport. For the vast majority of Caribbean nations, aviation is the great gateway, and an essential means for the local population”, shared José Ricardo Botelho, Executive Director and CEO of ALTA.
