This new route, operating four (4) times per week via St. Lucia and Dominica, opens new opportunities for seamless travel and collaboration across the Caribbean.
The introduction of flights to Guadeloupe adds to the Airlines’ 2024 expansion. This year the airline’s network grew with the addition of Puerto Rico, Martinique and now Guadeloupe. The Airlines said these new destinations are complemented by key regional developments, including flights between Ogle, Guyana, and Suriname, expanded regional and international schedules, and the upcoming relaunch of the Fort Lauderdale to Kingston route.

Medera added, “As we reflect on a year of dynamic growth, we are proud to be at the forefront of regional connectivity. The start of service to Guadeloupe is not just an expansion of our network; it’s a reaffirmation of our commitment to fostering unity, opportunity, and the vibrant exchange of Caribbean culture.”
Guadeloupe, renowned for its vibrant Creole culture, lush landscapes, and iconic landmarks like La Soufrière Volcano, offers travelers a perfect blend of natural beauty and cultural richness. By linking this destination to St. Lucia, Dominica, Trinidad and the wider Caribbean Airlines network, the airline is opening new gateways for exploration and connection across the region.
The schedule for this new route is carefully designed to provide convenient connectivity to and from other destinations in the airline’s extensive network, ensuring hassle-free travel for passengers, said Caribbean Airlines
