Two Caribbean Destinations, One Easier Journey

The new connection makes it more convenient for visitors to experience both islands during a single Caribbean holiday.

Barbados offers its renowned beaches, vibrant dining scene, cultural attractions and established tourism infrastructure. Martinique brings a different experience, combining French-Caribbean culture, Creole cuisine, volcanic landscapes and picturesque coastal towns.

With a flight time of less than an hour, travellers can consider adding another island to their itinerary without spending much of their holiday in transit.

The service could also benefit residents travelling for business, family visits and regional events.

Barbados Strengthens Its Regional Air Hub

The route offers more than a direct connection between the two islands. Through interCaribbean Airways’ wider network, passengers arriving in Barbados from Martinique can access onward connections to other Caribbean destinations served by the airline.

The launch also builds on the airline’s efforts to expand its Barbados hub, including additional nonstop destinations and increased flight frequencies announced in December 2025.

Stronger regional air links can support tourism, business travel and economic activity, while making multi-island holidays more accessible to international visitors.

A Boost for Caribbean Connectivity

As Caribbean destinations look to strengthen regional travel and attract visitors interested in exploring more than one island, the Barbados–Martinique service adds another useful connection to the region’s aviation network.

For travellers, it means greater flexibility. For tourism businesses, it creates another opportunity to attract visitors moving between neighbouring destinations.

The new direct service begins January 25, 2027, with flights every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Reservations are available through interCaribbean Airways.
