InterCaribbean Airways to launch new non-stop service from Tortola to Barbados and St. Maarten

INTERCARIBBEAN AIRWAYS said it will be introducing a new nonstop service from Tortola to both Barbados and St. Maarten, with flights commencing on March 8, 2026.

The airline said in a release that it will operate seven weekly flights between Tortola (EIS) Terrance B. Lettsome International Airport (EIS) and Barbados’s (BGI) Grantley Adams International Airport (BGI). Four flights per week will operate non-stop, while three additional weekly flights will route via Princess Juliana International Airport (SXM) in St. Maarten, providing non-stop service between Tortola and St. Maarten.

The airline said the new routes will significantly expand connectivity options from interCaribbean’s Tortola hub. Customers in Tortola will gain convenient access to Barbados and onward connections to destinations including Guyana, Grenada, St. Lucia, Trinidad and St. Vincent, while customers in Barbados and the Southern Caribbean will gain access to the Northern Caribbean via Tortola and St. Maarten.

“Expanding non-stop options from Tortola has been a priority for us,” said Lyndon Gardiner, Chairman of interCaribbean Airways, a privately owned and operated carrier with headquartered in the Turks and Caicos Islands.

“Adding Barbados and St. Maarten as non-stop destinations gives BVI travellers access to our wider Caribbean network in both directions. For the British Virgin Islands, it reinforces our long-term commitment to the territory. We’ve been serving Tortola for ten years now, and we continue to invest in connectivity options for BVI residents and visitors.”

The expansion is supported by the airline’s growing fleet, which now includes 11 ATR turboprop aircraft, enabling interCaribbean to serve more destinations with greater frequency.
