The company transported 1 passengers between Paris and the West Indies in 344, and the regional market grew by 000% with, in 2019, 2,4 passengers.
The airline will put into service, in January 2020, its most recent and largest aircraft to date, the Airbus A350-1000 with a capacity of 429 seats, 40 more than the A350-900. In July 2019, an A350-200 was put into service, and at the end of this year a new A330-200 will join the Air Caraïbes fleet.
Frequencies will thus increase in the Caribbean and a third flight has been added to Saint-Martin. The Director General of Air Caraïbes, Olivier Besnard assured that he was not worried about the slowness of the reconstruction work at Princess Juliana airport and that confidence in the destination was still in order. The executive said that Air Caraïbes was the first airline to return to the territory after Cyclone Irma, although it had been difficult to work in tents at Princess Juliana International Airport, “it was a difficult time ".
A year ago, the decision was made to operate two flights a week to Saint-Martin from Paris, and this press conference was the opportunity to announce the increase in the number of rotations, which thus increases to three per week, from January 2020. Passenger traffic in Saint-Martin has increased by 30%, also “the third flight is good for us and good for the island. It's a profitable route for us. ” Air Caraïbes will soon be in Saint-Martin to announce and present this third connection. _RM
