On June 14, Virgin Atlantic Airlines will be launching its first-ever island hopping service in the region that includes Barbados, Grenada and St. Vincent and the Grenadines.
The United Kingdom-based airline said the venture is one which is intended to further enhance its leisure programme and aligns with its goal of reaffirming its position as the leading transatlantic airline to the Caribbean.
“The new inter-island services are set to provide both international and local customers more opportunities to explore the Caribbean and each island’s unique personality,” Virgin Atlantic said in a media statement.
Complete packages to be provided
To complement the new routes, the airline said complete packages will be provided to make booking easy for all customers.
“With an increased customer demand for experience-rich breaks, Virgin Atlantic Holidays will provide complete packages incorporating easy booking, preferred itineraries and seamless connections between the islands, each with the same premium Virgin Atlantic service they enjoy on transatlantic flights,” the airline stated.
“This will also be complemented by an increase in flights to St Vincent and the Grenadines, which will operate thrice weekly this winter, with seats to St Lucia increasing by 33% since last year, reaffirming the post-pandemic demand for premium, sunny getaways,” the statement added.
The service will be operated using the airline’s flagship A330-300.
