Starting December 1, the regional carrier, interCaribbean Airways will start operating fully in Barbados with FlightSupport Ltd, a subsidiary of the InterIsland Aviation Services Group (IASG).
According to airline officials, the move is a strategic one that will bring better operational control and efficiencies to strengthen the airline’s presence and services in Barbados and the Southern Caribbean enhancing connectivity and flight options for travellers in the region.
FlightSupport Ltd., under the leadership of its Founder and Chairman Lyndon Gardiner, who also serves as Chairman of interCaribbean Airways, provides above – and below-wing support to a wide range of scheduled air carriers.
As Barbados serves as interCaribbean Airways’ hub for the Southern Caribbean, this transition to full “in-house” operations by FlightSupport Ltd. solidifies and expands the airline’s presence in the Southern Caribbean region.
“We are thrilled to be able to manage our full operations in Barbados finally,” said Lyndon Gardiner, Chairman and Founder of FlightSupport and interCaribbean Airways. “Barbados is a valued and critical partner to us, and a key destination and hub for interCaribbean Airways. Given our commitment to providing seamless travel experiences to our passengers in the region, having FlightSupport Ltd with a presence in Barbados will undoubtedly improve our reputation on reliability, and efficiency for service in this region.”
FlightSupport Ltd is leading interCaribbean Airways’ employment recruitment drive to hire new team members in Barbados and bolster its local and regional teams.
interCaribbean Airways is a privately-owned and operated airline, headquartered in the Turks and Caicos Islands.
With a network spanning Georgetown, Guyana, in the south, Barbados to the east, Havana, Cuba, to the west, and Nassau, Bahamas, to the north, interCaribbean connects twenty-eight cities across seventeen countries in the Caribbean.
