Cape Air is set to restart its daily direct service between the Cyril E King International Airport in St Thomas and Clayton J Lloyd International Airport in Anguilla.
Anguilla’s Tourist Board said the flights will resume on Friday, March 8, 2024.
Officials from both islands have expressed their gratitude to Cape Air for relaunching the service.
Haydn Hughes, Minister of Infrastructure, Communications, Housing, Utilities and Tourism for Anguilla stated: “As Minister of Aviation and Tourism, it gives me great pleasure to see the reinstatement of Cape Air’s service between Anguilla and the USVI commencing on March 8th, 2024. Cape Air has served us well in the past and we are confident that the excellent service that they provide will continue. The ties between Anguilla and the USVI are deep and there is no doubt that this service will be welcomed by the Anguillans in the diaspora and those who wish to visit our respective destinations.”
Commissioner Joseph Boschulte, US Virgin Islands Department of Tourism commented: “On behalf of the US Virgin Islands we would like to congratulate Cape Air on the launch of daily non-stop service between St Thomas to Anguilla. This expands our territory’s regional connectivity and opens the door for increased inter-island visitation from neighbouring countries throughout the Lesser Antilles.”
Linda Markham, President and CEO of Cape Air, said the company is pleased to play an important part in ferrying people around the Caribbean.
“Cape Air has been invested in the Caribbean region for over twenty-five years,” said Markham.
“A significant portion of our business is focused on connecting island communities to hub cities and providing convenient access to flights on our partner carriers. We are grateful to be able to play a part in driving Anguilla’s tourism economy,” she added.
Cape Air will use a Cessna 402 aircraft, which has capacity for nine passengers, to service the route. The airline operates more than 80 daily flights to St Thomas, St Croix, Tortola, Vieques, Anguilla, Nevis, Mayaguez, Culebra, and Virgin Gorda.
