If Saint-Martinois are delighted with the direct service between Paris and Juliana by Air Caraïbes, they are much less so by the prices which can exceed € 1.
Or even more. The reason for this pricing policy, that of supply and demand. "Before Irma, there were several flights per week operated by Air France and Air Caraïbes, today there is only one direct flight per week", comments the director who assures, however, that prices should drop in the coming weeks.
Accused of having increased its prices on regional flights, Air Caraïbes denies. "We did not take advantage of the situation and increased our prices contrary to what was said," says Olivier Besnard. “On the regional level, we have launched the Simply program which consists of benefiting from very attractive rates but the condition is to book 45 days in advance. People who wanted to travel quickly after Irma, therefore could not have this price and had the impression of a rise in prices, "he explains.
However, Air Caraïbes says it is "aware" of the situation and wants to start "a reflection to be able to offer more affordable prices". (Source: www.soualigapost.com)
