The Saint Lucia Tourism Authority (SLTA) is excited to announce the launch of same-day service between St. Kitts and Saint Lucia via Sunrise Airways, beginning on July 8, 2024.

This new route aims to enhance travel options and strengthen connections between the two islands.

The announcement was made in St. Kitts during a collaborative marketing initiative between the SLTA and Sunrise Airways from June 27-30, 2024.

The joint efforts included brand and destination promotion at the St. Kitts Music Festival, extensive media campaigns, and engagements with the diaspora community.

The service will operate from Robert L. Bradshaw International Airport (SKB) to George F.L. Charles Airport from July 8-14, on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Saturday.

Starting July 15, the service will run daily, with a brief 20-minute stopover in Antigua, ensuring a seamless and efficient journey for travellers.

“Our partnership with Sunrise Airways and our marketing initiatives in St. Kitts highlight our commitment to fostering stronger regional connections and promoting Saint Lucia as a premier travel destination. This service also enhances our collaboration with key regional institutions like the Eastern Caribbean Central Bank (ECCB) and the OECS Commission, strengthening our ties within the Eastern Caribbean,” said the Tourism Minister.

This enhanced connectivity is expected to boost tourism and facilitate easier access for both business and leisure travellers, further solidifying Saint Lucia’s position as a key destination in the Caribbean.

The SLTA and Sunrise Airways look forward to welcoming passengers on this new route and sharing the unique and diverse experiences that Saint Lucia has to offer.
