AGP Executive Report
Last update: 11 hours agoAviation Shock: Caribbean Airlines will cut regional links from June 1, ending flights on the Dominica, St. Kitts and Ogle (Guyana)–Suriname routes, and reducing service to Martinique and Guadeloupe to twice weekly—passengers are being offered rebooking, refunds, or travel credit, and the airline says it’s working toward a codeshare to widen connections. Regional Fallout: The move follows Trinidad and Tobago’s transport minister citing heavy losses tied to CAL’s 2023 Eastern Caribbean expansion, and it’s already reigniting debate over who will fill the intra-Caribbean airlift gap. Tourism Angle: While air connectivity tightens, tourism marketing is getting louder—Antigua and Barbuda reports a 7% rise in stayovers in Q1, and social media influencer travel is emerging as a new promotional force across the region. Local Risk Watch: France’s Gîtes de France says it was hit by a cyberattack affecting booking data, including some Guadeloupe customers, as the region also continues to track disaster readiness after recent earthquakes.
