Regional Caribbean carrier interCaribbean Airways has officially announced the launch of a brand-new non-stop air service connecting Barbados and Martinique, scheduled to commence operations on January 25, 2027, offering travellers a convenient, time-efficient new connectivity option across the eastern Caribbean archipelago. The new route will run three times per week, with scheduled departures every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, boasting a remarkably short total flight duration of roughly 55 minutes, drastically cutting down on current indirect travel times between the two island destinations. The carefully crafted flight itinerary will see outbound flights departing Barbados’ Grantley Adams International Airport at 10:55 a.m. local time, touching down at Martinique Aimé Césaire International Airport in Fort-de-France at 11:50 a.m. the same day. For the return leg, aircraft will push back from Martinique at 12:20 p.m., arriving back at Barbados’ primary international airport at 1:15 p.m. All flights on the new inter-island route will be operated using the airline’s reliable, fuel-efficient ATR turboprop fleet, purpose-built for short-haul regional travel across tropical island geographies. Beyond the direct point-to-point travel benefit for leisure and business passengers, the new service will also unlock seamless onward connection opportunities for travellers originating in Martinique, who can now access interCaribbean Airways’ extensive network of secondary Caribbean destinations via the carrier’s established central hub at Grantley Adams International Airport. The airline confirmed that reservations for the new route are officially open for booking across all its sales channels, allowing travellers to lock in early fares for travel starting in early 2027.
